AT: Texan By Nature Webinar – Making Parks Fully Inclusive

March 5th 2pm with speaker Mark Davison, Park Planning, Design and Construction Manager, City of Boulder, Colorado.

The Dignity of Risk: Making Parks Fully Inclusive

As the dad of a daughter who experiences disabilities and as a professional who has spent his career working in National, state and city parks conserving nature and designing parks, I have found my professional and personal life at odds. My career path has focused on park planning, park design, visitor experience, land management, and environmental conservation. However, much of the great work I believed I was doing in my job seemed to only create additional barriers for my daughter Lydia to access nature, from added steps on trails to inaccessible environmental education programs.

This seminar seeks to understand how to overcome barriers that are physical or imagined, employ sensory input methods to create fully inclusive parks and play areas, and approach to including youth experiencing disabilities.
