Acquisition History

Eagle Bluff, Maine - 2014

The Access Fund partnered with the Clifton Climbers Alliance (CCA) to acquire Eagle Bluff in central Maine for permanent conservation and recreational access. The Access Fund secured an Option Agreement to purchase Eagle Bluff and a recreational lease to re-open this incredible area. After six months, climbers and conservationists from New England and beyond raised over $100,000 and CCA completed the purchase. A small Climbing Conservation Loan bridged the gap between available donations and pending grant applications.
