Volunteers and Addo Farm highlight accessibility work at Bluebird Gap Farm; Earth Day dedication planned
Summary
Volunteers and organizers updated council on Bluebird Gap Farm activities: an Earth Day festival and a $14,000 grant that funded two all-terrain wheelchairs that will be available free to the public in May.
Linda Boone and Jacqueline Keener Weatherford thanked council and described volunteer programs at Bluebird Gap Farm and related projects. Boone described the farm's trails, playground and animal exhibits and invited people to the Earth Day Environmental Festival on April 26 at 12:30, where a 7-by-5-foot student-created sculpture called 'Morris' will be dedicated.
Weatherford, founder of Addo Farm (Accessible Trails to All), said the group secured a $14,000 grant to obtain two all-terrain wheelchairs and that the chairs "have arrived at the park and will be available free to the public in May." She outlined plans for sensory toolkits and planned learning features to make the farm more accessible to visitors with disabilities.
