What is the National Access & Stewardship Summit?
Join us for three days in Colorado to learn about protecting the places we play. Every year, the Access Fund hosts an educational summit that brings activists and volunteers together to learn about ways to preserve access to places we love and protect them for future generations. This year's summit is going to be the biggest one yet! Whether you are interested in starting a local climbing organization, working with land managers on access issues, discussing conservation opportunities with private landowners, or simply want to know how you can get involved at your local crag, this summit will have something for you.
Who can come to the National Access & Stewardship Summit?
Anyone who is passionate about protecting America's outdoor spaces can join us! There will be introductory topics for attendees new to the world of climbing access and expert workshops for the seasoned advocate.
What kinds of workshops will be offered at the National Access & Stewardship Summit?
Presentations will cover a range of topics, including stewardship and education, local support and mobilization, land conservation, and public policy.
