Aspen Pledge

THE ASPEN PLEDGE

Aspen is an inspiration. A community. A home. To not just extraordinary individuals, but to extraordinary natural spaces and wildlife. Here, ideas and art and progress are made possible by the endless inspiration found in nature. Here, our community is defined by all those who defy ordinary every single day. So take the Aspen pledge and commit to helping Aspen's beautiful and unique community flourish for years to come. 

ACRA will be making a donation of $18.80 for each pledge signed, which honors the year Aspen was incorporated, 1880. Those signing the pledge can choose between the Independence Pass Foundation and Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers as the beneficiary organization. For the initial launch, ACRA has committed up to $50,000 in donations.

ASPEN PLEDGE

WHETHER ASPEN IS MY HOME SWEET HOME, OR MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME:

I WILL EXPLORE RESPONSIBLY.

I WILL PREPARE FOR ANY EXPERIENCE. 

I WILL FIND ADVENTURE, BUT NOT VENTURE OFF THE MARKED TRAILS. 

I WILL CARVE THE SNOW AND NOT THE TREES.

I WILL GET LOST IN MY THOUGHTS, BUT NOT IN THE WOODS. 

I WILL REMAIN IN ONE PIECE BY LEAVING THE WILDLIFE IN PEACE. 

I WILL GO SIGHTSEEING WHILE LEAVING THE SITES WORTH SEEING. 

I WILL TRAVEL BY FOOT, BIKE, OR BUS WHEN I CAN, AND DRIVE CAREFULLY WHEN I CANNOT. 

I WILL HONOR THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF THOSE WHO WERE HERE BEFORE ME AND PRESERVE THE LAND FOR THOSE WHO COME AFTER ME. 

I WILL ACCEPT OUR DIFFERENCES AND CELEBRATE OUR DIVERSITY. 

I WILL BE KIND TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF EVERY KIND. 

I PLEDGE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS LITTLE PLACE CALLED ASPEN.
