Contributing to the protection and preservation of mountain and climbing environments
The ACC Environment Grant is issued annually from a permanent fund to be used to create a legacy of environmental improvement.
The focus of the Fund is wilderness conservation rather than recreation enhancement, in recognition of the fact that wilderness is a rapidly diminishing and irreplaceable resource of great intrinsic value and that we must act quickly to save these areas. The Fund is a permanent legacy for environmental work.
The purpose of the Fund is to provide support that contributes to the protection and preservation of mountain and climbing environments, including addressing climate change in mountain ecosystems, the preservation of alpine flora and fauna in their natural habitat and support for mountain cultures that rely on these ecosystems.
