| Adopt-a-Crag scheduled for Devil's Lake | Thu Jul 3 06:50:13 2003 |
| WHAT IS ADOPT-A-CRAG DAY? On September 6, 2003 REI and the Access Fund will sponsor the Fourth Annual Adopt-a-Crag Day, a national initiative devoted to natural resource stewardship and volunteerism. This year there will be an anticipated 100 Adopt-a-Crag Day events at climbing and bouldering areas around the country. Madison's REI is sponsoring the Devil's Lake Adopt-a-rag Why is Adopt-a-Crag Day important? Adopt-a-Crag Day 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 Day encourages climbing communities to engage local land managers, landowners, park service employees and forest rangers in conversation about ways to preserve and protect their climbing areas and environments. What are the Goals of Adopt-a-Crag Day? •Preserving climbing resources and maintaining climbing areas. •Uniting the national climbing community. •Promoting public awareness and appreciation of America's diverse climbing resources. •Encouraging cooperative efforts and building partnerships between climbers and public land managers. •Providing a venue for thousands of individuals to give back to the environment. To volunteer or for more details call 608-833-6680 or fill out an entry form at REI, Madison. There will be food and prize drawings for volunteers at Devil's Lake. - Tom Anderson-Brown | |
