Bosterson Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The NPS is soliciting comments on a climbing management plan for Joshua Tree. The core issues they appear to want comments on have to do with preservation of petroglyphs/Native American sites; formalizing trails and reducing environmental damage; and bolting. Even though this plan is specifically for Joshua Tree, it seems worth commenting as it's likely at least some components of whatever plan they end up with will probably spill over into climbing management in other parks.

Rad Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Done. Thank you. It is important for climbers to show up and be seen and heard in order to have a seat at the table when decisions are made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosterson Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Today (3/13/22) is the last day to submit comments to the NPS about their restrictive climbing plan for J-Tree, including a very dangerous sounding proposal to let old bolts "age in place." https://www.accessfund.org/take-action/campaigns/speak-up-now-joshua-tree-attempting-to-prohibit-bolts-in-wilderness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
