The following is an unedited report from Chris Evers of Animal Embassy. Chris has worked with the Access Nature programs as one of our naturalists, for several years now, helping people with various disabilities gain the benefits of nature.
”Today was a magical day at Muscoot Farm. Thanks to the Lewisboro Land Trust, and their Access Nature initiative, I had the pleasure of leading my second hike for the Westchester Jewish Community Services' Sunshine Social Club.
Many of the participants deal with the challenges of depression, anxiety, self doubt and isolation. The smiles on their faces were priceless. I look forward to seeing them all again soon.
A great big thank you to Bonnie Robbins, and the rest of the great folks at Lewisboro Land Trust, for their vision, and dedication to the preservation of open space, and as their tagline states: "linking people to the land".
We all have our challenges and struggles in life; nature can be an amazing elixir. Get outside:)”
And Steve, a Sunshine Club participant, summed it all up towards the end of the program: “I feel very amazing. The animals, the surrounding, being in nature...I feel very amazing!”
