Earth Day 2026 Cleanup Weekend

We’re pleased to report yet another successful year of garbage clearing at Tiffany Falls and Devil’s Punchbowl along Hamilton’s Escarpment. Throughout the year, various garbage and trash finds its way into these conservation areas; some with steep incline – a perfect opportunity for our club to lend a hand on cleanup week! Particularly for Tiffany Falls, our club has interest in keeping these areas clean as we benefit from ice climbing there – when the weather cooperates. Huge shoutout to all the volunteers that pushed through on the cleaning efforts despite somewhat questionable weather this past weekend.
