Commission outlines guided walks, outreach and accessibility plans for Nature Preserve
Summary
Commissioners planned guided walks (iNaturalist, birding, photography, tree walks), outreach to volunteer leaders, and tentative accessibility accommodations including a Quinn Overlook meet-up for those with limited mobility.
The Environmental Commission discussed Nature Preserve programming at the May 5 meeting, asking members to consider a calendar of guided walks and outreach activities. Christine Ingels volunteered to lead walks and commissioners agreed to contact Joe Koscielny for a photography walk and Kevin Avery for a bird walk; John Anlian will be asked to lead a tree walk.
The Commission also discussed inclusive programming for people with limited mobility and a potential walk with the Vision Loss Alliance once Braille signs are installed. Commissioners noted a recent clean-up day with the Key Club, National Honor Society and Environmental Club had gone well and that the Commission will schedule regular monthly maintenance days going forward.
No formal votes were needed; commissioners agreed to follow up to set dates and confirm volunteer leaders before the next meeting.
