The Fly Rod Crosby Society recognizes donors whose annual gifts of $1,000 or more safeguard the lands, waters, and trails that define the High Peaks region. Society members provide essential funding for trail maintenance, land protection, and advocacy, ensuring public access and preserving cherished outdoor spaces for generations.

Members receive invitations to special events, including personalized conservation briefings and exclusive socials with Alliance leadership and fellow supporters.

Named for Cornelia “Fly Rod” Crosby, Maine’s first registered guide and a visionary for outdoor adventure, the Society celebrates her pioneering spirit. By giving at this level, you carry forward Crosby’s dedication to conservation and community in the High Peaks.

Some places shape who we are. For Kay Gibson, the High Peaks are such a place; worth cherishing now, and forever.

My late husband and I hunted, fished, hiked, and traveled through many of the areas which have become the subject of the goals of High Peaks Alliance. Not everyone can afford to own their own mountaintop nor should they. That said, by working together and supporting HPA, everyone can become a stakeholder in these high vistas, river valleys and farm lands.

HPA’s goal is to identify and bring public awareness to these amazing areas and take steps to make them accessible for now and forever both physically and visually. It’s exciting to think that a hundred years from now the views of these mountaintops will be as they are today. This is quite in contrast to what has happened along Maine’s coastal ridge tops which are now in private ownership, off limits, and dotted with large McMansions.
