We’re sorry, this event has been cancelled.
Please join us for our Saturday Sit on 10/22!
Join us for a fun, accessible, and inclusive fall outing through beautiful Badger Prairie County Park with Access Ability Wisconsin! AAW will bring several of their Outdoor Wheelchairs (OWCs), designed to allow individuals with mobility challenges to explore the outdoors independently and safely. Nature is for everybody, and every body!
We’ll meet at the parking lot near the park facilities (42°59'53.5"N 89°31'09.9"W) by 4:30pm. We’ll say hello, AAW’s team will demonstrate how to use the wheelchairs, and we’ll have a guided bird tour through the prairie.
Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated; feel free to bring a camera, binoculars, and/or field guide. We will also have binoculars available to borrow.
To preview how others have used AAW OWCs, see client testimonials or AAW's Facebook page.
