Access to the Outdoors for All
Fall is a season of change in the Northeast United States. The weather cools, the leaves begin to turn, and birds begin migrating south for winter. Some dive into holiday traditions, carving pumpkins and drinking apple cider. Others spend time becoming one with nature and scouting out the perfect landscape for hunting. While everyone has their favorite fall traditions, it’s our hope that people of all abilities are able to access the outdoors this season.
