Testimonials<\/h1>\n<\/div>
The success of the Matrix trail construction project is a model of how partnerships can benefit outdoor recreation and reduce resource impacts.<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>
<\/span>Ranger Mike Liu<\/strong>, <\/span>US Forest Service<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>
I was afraid to talk to the rangers but the WCC encouraged me to do so and now the rangers are working with me!<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>
<\/span>Gabriel Cisneros<\/strong>, <\/span>WCC<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>
The Clear Creek Road remains open because of advocacy and volunteer maintenance done by climbers. The WCC’s recent concrete repair to a hardened stream crossing came out really well. Thanks WCC! <\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>
<\/span>Martha Rasmussen<\/strong>, <\/span>Friends for Public Use<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>
WCC is GREAT. I love working with the WCC and helping protect the crags that matter to me. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I see a direct impact of my contributions. <\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>
<\/span>Marymaier,<\/strong>, <\/span>WCC<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div>
Climbers have worked hard to help take care of Frenchman Coulee. Their raising of funds for a permanent toilet and their trailwork has really helped WDFW maintain this busy recreation area.<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>
