About
The CliffCare Trust formed in 1998, we are a non-profit organization that works to protect the climbing environments we love through
-
Cooperative working parties such as trail work, clean up days and revegetation projects.
-
Education programs to promote low impact climbing.
-
Access negotiations with land managers / owners to ensure that climbing fits within a larger framework of environmental land management.
We promote a culture of stewardship among the VCC and broader climbing community, encouraging climbers to go the extra mile in taking care of these environments by having the knowledge to moderate their impact at an individual level and participating in collaborative environmental projects.
We foster a culture of stewardship in the climbing community to protect the places and the sport that we love
