Arkansas Disability & Health is collaborating with students in several EAST programs across the state, as well as the Boy Scouts of America to survey and document local trails for accessibility.
The groups survey the trails by filming, mapping, and photographing them. They also document any barriers that are noticed along the way. The goal is to compile the gathered information together on one website and youtube channel in order to provide a single source on accessible recreational trails.
We are partnering with more groups all the time, and will update this page as we compile more information. For more info about the project, please contact bdkilpat@uark.edu
