Any person who supports HikeWest’s objectives and interests may apply online for Individual membership of HikeWest. This enables individuals who are not necessarily members of one of our Member Clubs to show support for HikeWest’s efforts on behalf of all bushwalkers in the state, and to enjoy several of the benefits available to our other members.
Benefits of being a HikeWest Individual Member
- Better bushwalking for Western Australia – Through membership, an individual can show support for HikeWest’s vision and objectives.
- Awareness of recreational bushwalking and forest environment issues in WA – As WA’s recognised peak body and advocate for bushwalking, HikeWest keeps its members informed on a wide range of important issues that affect bushwalking opportunities and quality in WA.
- Bushwalking network – Involvement with HikeWest provides opportunities to meet and mix with fellow bushwalkers at general meetings and to participate in activities such as the WA Hiking Expo and on HikeWest’s working groups.
