(Madison) The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources recently announced that Buckhorn State Park has been selected to receive an outdoor wheelchair through a grant from the Ford Bronco Wild Fund and administered by the National Association of State Park Directors.
The outdoor wheelchair joins the fleet of adaptive equipment at the park which includes cross-country sit skis, an adaptive kayak, and a beach wheelchair. The wheelchair adds to the growing inventory of adaptive equipment at state parks, forests, recreation areas and trails, including a new Outdoor Wheelchair Program at several state parks.
The DNR says this would not have been possible without their partnerships with the National Association of State Park Directors and Friend Groups throughout the state. A link to more information about accessible recreation is available HERE.
