Adopt-a-Crag, the Access Fund’s signature event, is a national commitment by the climbing community to natural resource stewardship and volunteerism. Activities often include litter clean-ups, visual impact mitigation, trail construction and restoration, erosion control, and wildlife monitoring. This year, the Access Fund expects Adopt-a-Crag will produce trail restoration projects and crag clean-ups at over 100 climbing areas around the country.
The Buena Vista Crag event will include cleanup activities at Turtle Rock, Turtle and S-curve bouldering areas and Split Rocks. Volunteers should bring work gloves and wear long pants and sturdy shoes. Please check in with Lee and sign the Liability Release at 8:30 at the Turtle Rock day use parking lot.
“Adopt-a-Crag would not be possible without the generous financial support of outdoor industry leaders REI, W.L. Gore, and CLIF BAR,” said Adopt-a-Crag Coordinator Kristo Torgersen. “The commitment of these three companies to support grassroots activism to protect our climbing resources and climbers’ access is outstanding.”
The Access Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit advocacy and conservation organization, is the nation’s largest climbers’ organization, representing over 1.6 million technical rock climbers and mountaineers nationwide. The Access Fund's mission is to keep climbing areas open, and to conserve the climbing environment. Preserving the opportunity to climb and the diversity of the climbing experience are fundamental to our mission.
The organization works in cooperation with climbers, other recreational users, public land managers, and private landowners to promote the responsible use and sound management of climbing resources throughout the United States. The Access Fund encourages an ethic of personal responsibility, self-regulation, strong conservation values, and minimum impact practices among climbers.
The Access Fund web site (www.accessfund.org/adopt) lists all of the locations of Adopt-a-Crag as well as contact information for each event.
Hope to see you there!
