Welcome!

New Zealand Geographical Society Inc serves geographers in schools and universities, government and the private sector. Its publications are read by geographers and people in allied disciplines in New Zealand and abroad.  It provides resource materials for schools, and makes submissions to local, national and international agencies on matters of concern to geographers in New Zealand.  Its conferences help keep teachers and researchers abreast with current developments in our subject.
