We’re depending on supporters like you to reach our 2023 goal to offer wheelchair access to the Forest Flowers Trail and Lily Pond Overlook with a Fire Pit! This south-facing 140′ trail offers the most sunshine for flowering shrubs like lilacs, which flower best in full sun. Forest flowers include shade-loving Mountain Laurel and Azaleas. The 12′ x 12′ deck offers a place to stand or sit and observe nature, also fun for small group gatherings!

All donations count towards making this trail more ADA friendly. Donate now! Co-Create Outdoor Access that is enjoyable by all ages and abilities. Tax Deductible Donation. Celebrating 11 Years. Leading in Respite, Recreation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
