  • 2017 Annual Report
    COLORADO FOURTEENERS INITIATIVE ANNUAL REPORT PROTECT RESTORE EDUCATE WELCOME LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COVER: As dangerous as it is beautiful. The north face of Capitol Peak was the location for five climber fatalities in 2017, half of an all-time-record 10 deaths on 14ers. Photo by Cameron Miller Photography. WELCOME LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much” --Helen Keller Collaboration has been a hallmark of Colorado Fourteeners Initiative’s 14er stewardship work dating back to our inception in 1994 as “a partnership for preservation.” With a very short alpine field season and more than 50 peaks spread across the state, CFI has always relied on partnerships with other groups to bring out as many people as possible and make the greatest impact. From youth corps crews to volunteer stewardship organizations, businesses to individual enthusiasts across the country, CFI has worked with just about any willing partner to protect the 14ers. In 2017, however, CFI’s focus on collaboration expanded significantly thanks to the first year of the National Forest Foundation’s “Find Your Fourteener” campaign. The first season of this multi-year effort injected additional funding, fostered creative new approaches to getting work done and generated considerable enthusiasm that allowed Colorado Fourteeners Initiative to significantly boost project work on several 14ers. Collaboration on Mount Elbert saw CFI fielding two separate leadership teams on the mountain (one working at timberline, one near the trailhead), two separate Rocky Mountain Youth Corps crews, a youth corps “Peak Apprentice” position helping coordinate crews and volunteer projects, a prison work crew cutting and delivering logs, and multiple collaborative projects with statewide and local trail stewardship organizations.
