Crag Stewards oversee the planning and execution of an Adopt-a-Crag at his/her designated crag. These events help take care of our local climbing areas, as well as maintain our relationship with the land managers to ensure access. The scope and size of these events vary from crag to crag. Planning involves coordinating with the relevant land manager, potential team leads, and possibly any other organizations that may be involved.
Adopt-a-Crags are not the sole responsibility of the Crag Steward. The steward receives support from various others in Mid Atlantic Climbers, but spearheads efforts. New Crag Stewards will at first be paired with someone(s) with prior Adopt-a-Crag planning experience.
