Conservation Auction: Bid Now on Outdoor Gear, Adventure Travel

Support the Adventure Travel Conservation Fund by bidding on gear packages, multiday excursions, lodging, and more — now through July 14.

The Adventure Travel Conservation Fund (ATCF) is in the final days of a critical fundraising campaign. Now in its third year, the Travel Conservation Auction has provided key funding for the organization’s annual grant program. The ATCF is on track to raise $30,000 in this year’s auction; whether it meets that goal depends entirely on bidder participation.

Need to upgrade your gear game? Hankering for some time off but not sure where to go? With 20-plus items ranging from goods to weeklong safaris, the ATCF auction may deliver just what you’re looking for.

This year’s auction consists of 15 travel packages and 14 gear packages. From backcountry ski tours to African safaris, flyrods to yoga mats — every item on the list was donated by top outdoor companies that advocate for the preservation of natural and cultural resources.

Since its inception, the fund has awarded more than $500,000 to conservation initiatives globally. But it’s worth noting that the ATCF relies wholly on the auction and membership dues to raise funds. So consider throwing down a little scratch for the cause if you can.

Herre’s what’s up for grabs.
