What is Adopt-a-Crag?
Adopt-a-Crag is the Access Fund's signature stewardship program. Adopt-a-Crag unites local climbing communities, encourages partnerships with local land managers and landowners towards the conservation of our climbing areas, and creates a national voice for the many individual conservation and stewardship efforts across the country as a celebration of our crags.
Planned stewardship activities often include litter clean-ups, visual impact mitigation, trail construction and restoration, erosion control, and wildlife monitoring.
Why is Adopt-a-Crag important?
Adopt-a-Crag is about giving back to the climbing areas we use on a regular basis. From the signs in the parking areas, to the established trail systems, to the rocks and boulders where we devote endless hours, climbers are frequent land-users, and it is important that we make an effort to maintain and care for that land. Adopt-a-Crag is a great way to unite a local climbing community around stewardship projects that contribute to the well-being of their climbing areas as a celebration of their common interests. Working as a united community in cooperation with land managers or land owners improves the reputation of climbers as legitimate, responsible, conservation-minded stewards.
What are the Goals of Adopt-a-Crag?
- Conserve climbing environments and maintain climbing resources
- Create a unified national "voice" for the stewardship initiatives of local climbing communities
- Strengthen local climbing communities
- Encourage cooperative efforts and build partnerships between climbers and land managers
- Provide a venue for thousands of climbers to give back to their climbing areas
