Thank you, climbers!

Because of your advocacy, the EXPLORE Act passed the U.S. House on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. Access Fund Executive Director Heather Thorne released the following statement in response:

"I applaud the U.S. House of Representatives for passing a bipartisan recreation package that benefits climbers, our public lands, local communities, and all of us who love recreating and spending time in nature. And I urge the Senate to build on this momentum by quickly passing America's Outdoor Recreation Act so that President Biden can sign legislation protecting sustainable Wilderness climbing access into law."
