April 2022 - AgingNY Partners with NYSDEC to Offer Virtual Fora on Accessiblilty and the Outdoors
AAAs can encourage older adults to participate in the community and engage in physical activity to maintain good health and habits, but these encouragements can sound hollow if opportunities to get outdoors are not very accessible. Fortunately, there are many people, including staff at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Adirondack Park Agency's Accessibility Advisory Council, who are working to make sure we increase the number of accessible outdoors experiences.
To promote conversation about making the outdoors accessible and sustainable, the NYSDEC and partners are offering a two-parts series of Virtual Public Forums on Inclusivity, Accessibility, and Sustainability in the Outdoors. For more information and registration, visit the DEC's web page for this series taking place on May 10th and 17th.
