Global Giving Report-End of year Update
In the past year Access Nature, a division of the Lewisboro Land Trust, had defined an ambitious plan for growth and has initiated achieving its goals. With the help of the Global Giving community in 2018, Access Nature has been able to reach out to nearly 100 persons with disabilities, as well as the those of underserved populations.
Science has shown that the experience of nature brings many benefits, including reducing anxiety, depression and negative thinking, while increasing well being and cognitive function. Access nature believes that all people deserve to enjoy these benefits.
This year we have created outdoor nature programs for adults with developmental challenges, mental illness, and blindness, as well as youths from the Boys and Girls Club and families of first generation Hispanic immigrants.
With your help we are able to expand our programs outreach and effectiveness in 2019. In the coming year we plan to double the number of organizations and people we are able to serve. And by 2020 we hope to be able to triple it. We thank you for your generous part in this endeavor. We hope that you will continue to help us to grow and provide safe, educational and enjoyable nature experiences. We appreciate your kindness in providing this lifetime tool for those who need it most.
