SUMMARY:Great Lakes ADA Center Art\, Culture\, and Recreation Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Join the Great Lakes ADA Center for this webinar on accessibility. \nArts\, culture\, and civic spaces are vibrant community anchors\, but accessibility needs in these venues are often complex and unique.

This session introduces the Arts & Culture Accessibility Hub’s free tools to understand ADA requirements\, plus a clear cycle—assess\, plan\, connect\, learn\, implement—to turn intention into action. Participants will leave with practical steps to meet compliance and strengthen accessibility beyond the ADA. \nIndividuals will be able to submit questions for the speaker in advance during the registration process. \nHuman Generated Real-Time Captioning will be provided for this session.

SUMMARY:Access Nature Forum - Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization
DESCRIPTION:Join us on December 3rd at 1:00 PM Via Zoom. \nJoin us for a discussion with MEVO (Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization) Inc.\, which was a recipient of PPA’s stipend project. MEVO was able to welcome in an existing partner\, the Bergen County Department of Adult Special Services (BCASS)\, to their farm to volunteer at a high frequency. BCASS had been volunteering with MEVO previously\, but due to limited staff on MEVO’s end\, they were not able to welcome them as frequently as they liked. The stipend from the Pinelands Preservation Alliance afforded them the ability to welcome BCASS anywhere from 2-4 times a month from April to September. \nBCASS brought groups of anywhere from 5-15 adults on a given visit\, where they stayed for an hour each time. MEVO emphasized sensory experiences that would allow the clients to connect with the farm and the outdoors while they came to visit. Every visit started with a sensory farm tour where the groups could touch\, taste\, see\, and smell what was going on at the farm. Since they camefrequently\, they got to witness the farm changing from spring to summer\, to fall\, through their senses. While at the farm\, clients helped with tasks such as weeding\, lining the perennial and herb beds with a rock border\, laying down mulch\, and more. MEVO focused on tasks that fit the range of abilities for the group on the given day. If clients were more excited to tour and experience the farm that day\, they would spend all the time of their visit happily on that. \nAbout MEVO: The Mahwah Environmental Volunteers Organization is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit located in Mahwah\, New Jersey\, whose mission is to be the model for the creation of scalable ecological solutions that inspires and empowers people to take action for a better future. MEVO engages its community in boots on the ground and hands-in-the-dirt volunteer projects that range from working on our two market garden farms\, assisting in large-scale trash cleanups on Stag Hill in Mahwah\, and trail building in partnership with the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference. MEVO’s other programs include their Farm to School Program\, spring\, summer\, and fall internship opportunities\, and their Community Supported Agriculture Program. To learn more about MEVO and their volunteer opportunities\, you can visit mevo.org

SUMMARY:Painting Among the Pines: Lake Wapalanne in the Fall
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to unleash your inner artist among the vibrant fall foliage at Lake Wapalanne – no experience needed\, just creativity and love!\n\n\nThe inspiration comes from a serene view of Lake Wapalanne captured in the golden hours of an autumn afternoon. Notice how the sun sets low\, casting a warm amber glow across the bare branches. The trees have mostly shed their leaves\, revealing intricate patterns of trunks and branches silhouetted in orange light. A few evergreen pines hold onto their deep green hues\, adding contrast to the fall color palette. \nIn the foreground\, the rippling lake reflects the fiery treeline\, creating a dynamic mix of movement and mirror-like calm. The crisp air and fading light signal the quiet beauty of late fall—when the world pauses between the vibrant foliage and winter’s hush. \nMaterials are included in the fee\, all you have to bring is excitement and some confidence. \nYou are welcome to bring snacks. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited but we will have apple cider provided. \nThis program is open to adults and youth ages 14 and up. Participants under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Space is limited to 10 artists.
