Jon Adamson on Ascent New Brunswick Strategic Plan
This plan will focus on the following 5 core areas:
Access
Maintain existing access agreements. Streamline the access agreement renewal process with CFB Gagetown. Foster good relations with all landowners with whom we have agreements. Act on behalf of the New Brunswick climbing community to secure new access agreements to rock and ice climbing areas.
Promote Responsible Climbing Practices
Provide announcements concerning peregrine falcon closures and other closures. Promote Crag Stewardship Plan.
Community and Member Development
Welsford Rendezvous, Anchor Replacement, Route Development, Trail Maintenance Days, announcements on NB Climbing Facebook page.
Crag Stewardship
Promote low impact practices. Educate the membership on the Ascent New Brunswick Crag Stewardship Policy and LNT Principles.
Community Outreach
Ascent New Brunswick will continue to partner with authorized groups and clubs providing special access agreements, climbing instruction and climbing equipment rentals. Examples include: GTFO, UNB Rock and Ice, Moncton Womens’ Climbing Club.
