By Bonnie Robins and Deanna Novak | Director and Coordinator Access Nature
The Access Nature Team is proud to welcome Deanna Novak, as our new outdoor coordinator. As an environment educator, Deanna brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, and enthusiasm to AN. Deanna is as thrilled to join the Lewisboro Land Trust and support the Access Nature program*, as we are to welcome her! She is looking forward to spending time on the trail with those who need it most. Her hope is that together we can help each other articulate how time spent outdoors is beneficial for peacemaking, healing, and our sense of community and well-being.
With the help of the Global Giving Community Access Nature is doubling our outreach in 2019. This year we will serve over 200 disabled and underserved peoples to access the benefits of nature. Working with their organizations we will create safe, educational and enjoyable outdoor nature programs tailored to their specific needs and abilities. For the first time, we will work with blind adults, adding to our roster of developmentally disabled and the mentally ill.
“Access Nature is a wonderful opportunity for the Lewisboro Land Trust, to extend the benefits of our nature programs to people of various abilities. We guide our participants through positive experiences in natural areas, and bring awareness to positive changes in their sense of well-being.“ Deanna Novak
