Many nature spaces are not fully available to people with disabilities. This is true even for spaces that follow the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The City of Fort Collins Natural Areas has co-developed a tool with community members with disabilities to assess and improve access that goes beyond the requirements of the ADA. Learn how to use this tool, and others, to improve the accessibility of your site and signage for a variety of audiences!

AJ Chlebnik is a Public Engagement Specialist for the City of Fort Collins Natural Areas Department and the Director of NAI’s Four Corners Region. One of her many roles is as a liaison to community members with disabilities, helping to make natural spaces more accessible for everyone.
