Preliminary Climbing Management Plans Released by US Forest Service & National Park Service
On November 17, 2023, Access Fund posted an announcement that preliminary versions of a Climbing Management Plans by both the US Forest Service and the National Park Service have been made available. They both opened their comment period until January 15, 2024. 

Access Fund has provided an FAQ on their website, summarizing these two plans and describing what is happening in Congress with respect to these plans.  There will be effects on climber safety and access in National Forest, Wilderness Areas, and National Parks, if these plans are approved. 

CASA is joining Access Fund, and other LCOs across the country, in requesting an extension to the comment period, pushing that deadline to February 15, 2024. 

More information will be coming soon.
