Sean Kane-Holland, Author at Nature: Accessible for All

Last year the Nature Accessible for All campaign had awarded several stipends to individuals and other Non-profits who were working on projects to promote inclusion and accessibility in natural areas for those with disabilities.

One awardee is the Raritan Headwaters, which was seeking to complete an accessibility project to construct a 400-foot boardwalk connecting a parking lot to a dock overlooking the property’s beautiful pond, making it accessible for people in wheelchairs. It is with great honoree that we were able to provide assistance to such a wonderful project and make this space more accessible to the community.

More great news for those advocating for more accessible trails and green spaces for passive recreation. U.S. Rep. LaMonica McIver introduced the Parks to People Active Transportation Act, a bill which would dramatically expand federal funding for greenway path projects.

Greenway paths help connect communities to natural spaces and parks, and the bill would specifically work to create equity in access to recreation and the outdoors.

Join The Nature Conservancy in New Jersey to discuss how digital and on-site updates can make outdoor spaces, communication and programming more accessible to wider audiences, especially people from emerging communities. We covered topics such as relevant accessibility guidelines, the importance of easily accessible information, and both minor and major physical upgrades along with real-life examples of each.
