Giving Back

At Trailspace, we feel a responsibility to be good stewards of the outdoor environment. From 2006 to the present day, we have supported a wide range of environmental and outdoor nonprofit organizations, from the international to the local, that are important to the Trailspace backcountry community. Past recipient organizations include:

	The Access Fund is the national advocacy organization that keeps U.S. climbing areas open and conserves the climbing environment. It supports climbers nationwide in all forms of climbing: rock, ice, mountaineering, and bouldering.
