About this Episode

For this episode, we highlighted the latest happenings in the Northeast. My guests were Seth Maciejowski with CRAG-VT and Mike Morin with Access Fund. They have done an incredible amount of work for New England climbers and continue to do so on a number of stewardship and acquisition projects.

We covered CRAG-VT’s approach to conservation and Seth’s impressive résumé of successful acquisitions during his time spent with CRAG-VT. Mike ran through various projects he is currently managing in Massachusetts, New York, and Maine and the huge undertaking of improving access at Rumney. Both of these guys hail from the Northeast, so it’s only fitting that they are leading the charge in this region.

Enjoy!

About Our Host

A couple years into climbing, Peter discovered Access Fund and couldn’t believe there was an organization that was focused on education, policy, and advocacy with climbing sitting at the center of it. Since then, he co-founded the local climbing organization in the Gunnison Valley of southwest Colorado and pursued a Master’s Degree in Environmental Management to further his knowledge in conservation and advocacy. Eventually, he took notice that there were a lot of climbing podcasts out there but nothing that focused solely on advocacy. That’s when he decided to propose the idea of hosting a podcast with the goal of connecting more climbers to the advocacy work that is being done beyond the crag.
