Disabled Hikers Group Hikes
Utilizing detailed information from their book, The Disabled Hiker’s Guide to Northern California: Outdoor Adventures Accessible By Car, Wheelchair, and on Foot, they hosted group hikes for people with disabilities. These hikes took into consideration of providing clear accessibility information, offering cross-disability affinity spaces, and offering transportation and day-use fee stipends. The Partnership Equity grant is helping to fund promotion of the hiking guide, including author talks and group hikes centered on people with disabilities.

Series of wilderness outings over the course of two years to enhance the mental health and well-being of under-resourced and overburdened families with young children in Los Angeles. Families living at or below the poverty level face a cascade of issues impacting their mental wellness and capacity to parent well. The Nurture in Nature program provides full-day family outings in nature with the goal of promoting mental wellness, decreasing parenting stress, and enhancing parent-child attachment. Young children thrive when they can access experiences that nurture and support them, and support their parents, too.
