Join the Yosemite Climbing Association on October 29th for a Facelift Act Local cleanup in New River Gorge, West Virginia! Get ready for a full day of giving back to places we play. 

As an extension of the successful Yosemite Facelift event, the objective of Facelift Act Local is for you to pick up litter, engage in service projects on our public lands, and spread the work of stewardship to some of the most visited and beautiful recreation areas in the country. The hope is not only to help clean up New River Gorge in a single day but to inspire action to maintain a pristine landscape here and everywhere you go! 

The presenting partner for the New River Gorge Facelift is The New River Alliance of Climbers (NRAC). This local climbing organization exists to preserve and promote access to climbing areas and to conserve climbing resources in the New River Gorge and surrounding areas.

This year’s project will focus on preserving and rehabilitating one of our favorite climbing and swimming areas near the New River Gorge, Whipporwill, at Summersville Lake, WV.

We'll continue the work that NRAC has begun by filling in the gabions along the shoreline with rocks and picking up trash on shore and in the lake bed.

Volunteers will receive complimentary breakfast, dinner, drinks, and a chance to win some sweet gear!

Help spread the word about Yosemite Facelift by tagging #FaceliftActLocal or #YosemiteFacelift2022 when sharing your experience online. This event is powered by volunteers like you! We can’t wait to get our hands dirty with you. More location details to come.
