Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

THE ACCESS FUND EDUCATION GRANT WAS AWARDED TO THE VALDEZ ADVENTURE ALLIANCE IN ORDER TO PRODUCE A VIDEO ON ICE STEWARDSHIP. ICE STEWARDSHIP IS WHEN ICE CLIMBERS ARE STEWARDS OF THE AREAS THEY CLIMB IN AND THE APPROACHES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. THIS MEANS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND CLEANLINESS AS WELL AS PROPER COMMUNICATION AND KIND REGARDS TO CLIMBERS NEW AS WELL AS EXPERT. COURTEOUS BEHAVIOR AMONG PEES IS GREATLY ENCOURAGED AND SHOULD BE VIEWED AS A LARGE PART OF SHARING "BETA" OR USEFUL INFORMATION AS WELL AS GENTLY REQUESTING BEHAVIORS SUCH AS CARING FOR PET (AND HUMAN) WASTE AT CLIMBING AREAS.

A FINAL REPORT WAS SENT TO THE THE STATE WHICH REPORTED ON THE BEFORE AND AFTER EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE ENVIRONMENT WAS RESTORED WITH ZERO NEGATIVE IMPACT.
