Building Access from the Ground Up: A Roadmap for Outdoor Recreation Communities
2026-03-10 13:30 - 2026-03-31 15:00 (America/New_York)
All over the country, communities are investing in accessible outdoor recreation — from Oregon’s statewide accessible recreation initiative to accessible state park lodging in Arkansas to new all-abilities trails, launches, and parks in small towns across the nation. Accessibility is fast becoming central to quality outdoor recreation, community pride, and visitor appeal.
Building Access from the Ground Up helps rural and small communities learn from this growing movement — gaining inspiration from real examples, adapting what works, and innovating to meet local needs. You’ll explore what accessibility means in outdoor settings, how to assess where you are now, and how to plan, design, and operate accessible recreation infrastructure and experiences. You’ll also learn how to prepare your community — from front-line workers to local businesses and volunteers — to welcome visitors of all abilities with confidence and care.
As with all Harbinger courses, Building Access from the Ground Up emphasizes practical tools and peer learning. Participants share ideas and lessons learned with others facing similar opportunities and constraints, building a network of peers and allies in accessible outdoor recreation. Through real-world examples, self-assessment tools, and frameworks for turning insight into progress, you’ll leave with an action plan for your own community — focused on realistic next steps that expand access, strengthen tourism, and open the outdoors to all.
What You’ll Learn
How accessible outdoor recreation connects to community, economic, and tourism development goals
What’s happening in the U.S. and Canada in accessible outdoor recreation — and how your community can join the movement
How to assess your current level of accessibility using practical self-audit tools
Design principles and adaptive equipment options for accessible trails, launches, and recreation sites
How to develop accessible programs, tours, and visitor experiences
Strategies for preparing frontline workers, businesses, and guides to welcome all visitors
How to communicate accessibility information clearly and accurately
Strategies for collective planning with residents of all abilities
Tools for measuring progress and sustaining momentum over time

There will be Four 90-minute VIDEO CONFERENCE SESSIONS. All held on Tuesdays, March 10-31, 2026 • 10:30-12 PT/1:30-3 PM ET

Come exploring with your guide to see the unique birds that call the Pine Barrens home!

Please join us as we follow avid bird enthusiast Claire Campbell on this outdoor adventure while we will look for interesting birds that are residents or just passing through the area.
On this inclusive mobility and family-friendly outing, we will take a slow hike, passing through woods, wetlands. The trail follows along a newly improved accessible trail. The trail is a picturesque location perfect for birding opportunities as the site has a mixture of forest, open meadow, and wetland habitats as the area is crossed by stream networks of the South Branch Rancocas River.
The trail is a good location because of the diverse geography, relative openness of the farmland and dense forested wetlands. It is also a nice space to discover and become acquainted with, especially because of its quick and easy access to birding for almost anyone!
Accessibility Information:
The total length of this route is 1.5 miles.
The trail is a there-and-back route that follows flat, even terrain with no slopes. The trail is a minimum of 5 feet wide. The general trail surfaces are crushed stone and compacted soils, which will allow for rugged terrain wheelchair access.
The runtime of the event is estimated to be 2 hours.
There are benches on the property for resting, and there are two ADA-compliant parking spaces that will be used for a drop-off zone for those with mobility concerns. The parking lot is paved. There are ADA-compliant bathrooms available in the museum.
We look forward to birding with you!

2026-04-08 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Denver)
Join SORP for this webinar.
Access to outdoor spaces isn’t always a given. The Inclusive Spaces Audit is a tool to identify both strengths and gaps in welcoming, belonging, and accessibility for trails and recreation spaces.

For STP, inclusivity is a cornerstone for the 40+ miles of multi-use trails they manage in Stowe, Vermont. After participating in a workshop, STP utilized the Inclusive Spaces Audit in their most popular trail network and is working with their town and land access partners to tackle identified areas for improvement. From trail signs to handicap accessible parking spots, learn from this case study of how small changes towards inclusivity, with the right champion, can make big impacts.

Learning Objectives
Understand the Inclusive Spaces Audit and how it can be used to assess welcoming, belonging, and accessibility in trail and recreation settings.
Examine how the Stowe Trails Partnership applied the audit tool to evaluate a high-use trail network and prioritize improvements in collaboration with municipal and land access partners.
Identify practical, incremental actions—such as signage improvements and accessible parking enhancements—that can significantly improve inclusivity when supported by strong leadership and community partnerships.
