SCALING UP CONSERVATION
Venturing outdoors is key to developing a connection with nature. The more we immerse ourselves in wild places, the deeper we understand their importance and the need to protect them. Climbing – which takes people everywhere from local parks to the world’s highest summits – can be a powerful tool for igniting this passion for conservation.
Since 2016, Freyja has supported Access Fund in empowering climbers to become stewards of the very crags they scale. By advocating for sustainable climbing practices and public policy that protects climbing areas, Access Fund ensures climbing and the rock formations, cliffs, and natural spaces it takes place in endure for generations to come.
