Access Nature Forum – Rutgers School of Music: Botanical Gardens Drumming Circles, & Garden Access for People with Disabilities
By Sean Kane-Holland
In this Access Nature Forum we hear from Dr. Natalie Schultz-Kahwaty; Director of the Dance for PD program at Rutgers University – Mason Gross School of Music. Which received a stipend from PPA’s Nature: Accessible for All campaign. The stipend intends to enable Mason Gross to offer free programs for individuals with disabilities to participate in activities at the Rutgers Botanical Gardens and the Accessible Garden in New Brunswick, NJ. In this forum, we will hear about the project and its planning, implementation, and its outcomes.
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation provided a grant to fund the work of PPA and its partners in launching and sustaining the Nature: Accessible for All campaign. The Campaign is a collaborative effort by individuals, public agencies, and nonprofits to ensure that people with disabilities, their families, and allies can and do enjoy New Jersey’s extraordinary natural places.
