Mount Pisgah Arboretum
$50,000

OCRF funding will help Mount Pisgah Arboretum partner with Lane County Parks, the Friends of Buford Park & Mt. Pisgah, and local organizations that serve people with disabilities, including the Arc of Lane County, the City of Eugene’s Adaptive Recreation Services, and Lane Independent Living Alliance to: 1) review and implement specific trail improvements identified in the 2021 study; 2) apply the study’s methodology to other lowland areas of the Park to identify, and implement additional trail improvement opportunities; 3) bring out groups of people with disabilities for guided nature walks to introduce them to the newly improved recreational trails and the native habitats they can explore; and 4) develop tools for communicating trail accessibility to visitors and potential visitors using the Guidelines for Providing Trail Information to People with Disabilities developed by the Portland-based group, Access Recreation.
