About

Access and Environment

Through the Federation of Mountain Clubs of BC (FMCBC) we work together with other mountaineering and outdoor clubs in BC to improve access to trails, climbing areas and the backcountry, and to resolve land use issues that have an impact on our skiing, hiking and climbing activities. All our members are also members of the FMCBC and receive the FMCBC ‘s publication Cloudburst with access and conservation updates from around the province.

The preservation of mountain regions and their flora and fauna is one of the key objectives of the club. Canada’s mountains are an incredible natural and cultural heritage. They are also extremely vulnerable to human impact and to climate change. We support the conservation of alpine environments and regularly advocate to protect the places we love

We encourage all our members to be stewards of the mountains. We promote responsible & sustainable recreational use of wilderness areas that is respectful of the Kathmandu Declaration and the 7 principles of Leave No Trace.  Do have a question  or know of an issue that the ACC Vancouver Section should know about?
