Whether it’s ADA-accessible pit toilets in Enchanted Rock State Natural Area’s backcountry… or accommodations for disabled hunters in the public hunting program—access is important wherever and whenever possible.
The March issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine addresses accessibility in an article by writer Kathryn Hunter.
Hunter writes: The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is currently developing a five-year accessibility transition plan that Sandra Heath, TPWD’s first ADA coordinator, calls “ADA and beyond.”
The agency strives to provide access and inclusion for users of all abilities, while also recognizing that public lands are equally tasked with the protection and good stewardship of wildlife and cultural and historical resources.
In fact, nearly any capital project underway has an accessibility component to it.
Research has shown that when you make something accessible for one group of people it often improves accessibility for everyone.
