The event was a great success. Climbers enthusiastically learned about the flora and fauna of the glen and the Parks staff were equally excited to learn about bouldering! Speaking of which, we did manage to do some “pebble wrestling” for a few hours at the end of the day. Here are some photos (taken using my latest camera gadget, a monopod!):

Ce Samedi passé, le Ontario Access Coalition a participé à un événement pour le jour de la Terre organisé par l’association “The Friends of the Glen”, avec d’autre groupe comme “Bruce Trail Club” et “Leave No Trace”. Représentant l’OAC, une douzaine de boulderers ont travaillés avec les naturalistes de Niagara Parks Commission pour aider à inventorier les plantes qui poussent sur les blocs. L’événement fût un grand succès! Les grimpeurs étaient enthousiastes d’apprendre à propos de la faune et la flore du Glen, et le personnel du Parc était également très motiver d’en apprendre plus sur notre sport. Parlant de bloc, nous avons quand même réussis à grimper quelques heures après (et j’ai pu tester mon tout nouveau gadget: monopod!):

The NPC has recently talked about eliminating bouldering from the area in order to reduce environmental problems. Here is a quote from the OAC’s website:

The Niagara Parks Commission has recently released a draft of their Land Management Plan on their website which has a recommendation to eliminate bouldering in the future to reduce environmental impact.

Help us save this wonderful bouldering spot! It’s simple and takes only about two minutes of your time. Follow the instructions on the OAC website.
