Making Nature More Inclusive

You will soon have more information about the accessibility of four Greenbelt trails through a new web application. The 360-degree photos, dimensions, obstacles, and services at trail entrances will allow everyone to find a trail suited to their abilities. This project is being carried out in collaboration with users with reduced mobility, CanDO, and our Universal Accessibility Advisory Committee. The application will be available by summer. Stay tuned!
