Fostering a lifelong fascination with nature through outdoor field trips
Creating New Tracks
Enabling Wheelchair Users and Others with Physical Disabilities to Experience Nature
NatureTrack is expanding its “Fostering a Lifelong Fascination with Nature” outdoor field trip program to include wheelchair users of all ages. Using Freedom Trax, a manual wheelchair can be quickly transformed into a battery-powered all-terrain vehicle that easily traverses beach sand and trails. Nature Track helps wheelchair users or those with a physical disability access and explore beaches and trails from San Luis Obispo to Ventura. Wheelchair users can independently enjoy nature alongside family and friends.
Our students’ experience is directly linked to your financial support. Keep us “tracking” for kids and donate today.
