THE ADOPT-A-CRAG CONSERVATION AWARD
The Access Fund and CLIF Bar are proud to present the Adopt-a-Crag Conservation Award to the Minnesota Climbers Association. Rock climbing and environmental stewardship thrives in the Midwest. This year’s stewardship award goes to the members of the Minnesota Climbers Association (MCA), including Glenn Burns and Kaija Webster (AF Regional Coordinator-MN). The MCA organized six Adopt-a-Crag events in a five-month period in both Minnesota and Wisconsin at Ely’s Peak, Taylor Falls, Barn Bluff, the North Shore, and Willow River. Average turnout was 30 participants contributing 110 total volunteer hours at each event. Projects included anchor replacements, trail maintenance, trash cleanup, and tree planting.
