On Saturday, October 29, Lake Forest Open Lands (LFOLA) celebrated its partnership with Access Ability Wisconsin (AAW) as LFOLA became the first host location in Illinois for All-Terrain Outdoor Wheelchairs (OWC). “We are proud to increase access for all in Lake Forest Open Lands preserves and the local community. Individuals can reserve the chair and explore using the provided AAW trailer,” says Susan Lenz, SVP Community Engagement at LFOLA. “Providing access to these ‘hiking boots’ allows anyone living with a physical disability an opportunity to experience the dignity and freedom to enjoy the great outdoors solo or with family and friends, just like everyone else!” Visit lfola.org to learn more or make a wheelchair reservation.
