OzFish Experience Campouts
Bringing together OzFish Chapter members for a weekend of camping, fishing, and learning.
Chapter members will hear from restoration managers, industry experts, and First Nations leaders on topics relating to riparian restoration, water quality, invasive pest species, litter management, and community leadership.
What is the campout?
Over the next three years (2025-2027), OzFish will host a series of campout weekends along the NSW East Coast.
These events bring together members from nearby chapters to learn from other members about their local OzFish projects, share stories and lean on each other for advice and inspiration.
How does this help?
OzFish Chapter members will learn from experts about the ways that we can increase our impact as anglers on local fish habitat restoration projects across NSW.
The knowledge gained by Chapter members from these events will then be put into action as Chapter-led environmental restoration projects in their local areas.
How to get involved
These events are open to OzFish Chapter members only, and have been selected to cover multiple regions from each campout location throughout the year.
Existing members can register for an upcoming Campout Experience below, or you can join as a new member before signing up.
