FoTM is a public forum for mountain users who are passionate about Table Mountain National Park (TMNP). Our primary purpose is to ensure the appropriate management of TMNP by the assigned management authority, South African National Parks (SANParks). Our goal is for our mountain to thrive in the best interests of ecology, recreational use and eco-tourism, and in keeping with the Park's founding principles of an urban national park.

Our primary concern is safety and security on TMNP, and we will continue to lobby SANParks and other law enforcement agencies to provide better crime prevention. We also partner with a number of NPOs like the Sugarbird Project and The Helihack Initiative for invasive alien clearing on TMNP. In order to prevent further degradation of the trails on TMNP, we have employed a small team of keen trail workers who have been doing some fantastic work clearing and fixing trails. Our Trail Apostles have cleared more than 70 km of trail on TMNP.

FOTM is registered as an NPO: Registration No.: 262-431 NPO. You can read more about us on our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefriendsoftablemountain.
