meet the crew

After interviewing many great candidates, the Access Fund is pleased to welcome Dave Montgomery and Jeff Young as the Conservation Team crew. The duo met during their days working for Jefferson County Open Space in Colorado as trail technicians, and applied for the crew together. Both are avid climbers and come to the Access Fund with extensive trail building, stewardship, and conservation expertise.

Dave, Jeff, and Jenny check out the new 2011 Jeep Patriot as the team prepares to hit the road.

Dave, a native to Colorado, is a dedicated volunteer and has worked to coordinate numerous stewardship events at climbing areas in the South Platte. He has also worked extensively with kids, teaching Leave No Trace clinics and coaching a youth climbing team for a recreational center. Jeff, an Illinois native, is also an avid volunteer, lending his time and trail building skills to numerous Adopt a Crag events across the Colorado front range.

Jenny Blackmore, Stewardship Manager, will be supporting the Conservation Team from the Boulder, Colorado office.

The Access Fund is thrilled to have Dave, Jeff, and Jenny leading the Conservation Team!
