Hear from Joe Mornini, CEO of Team River Runner, about how his organization helps wounded veterans and others with disabilities experience nature through boating. Kayaking can give those unable to walk a new perspective on gravity and motion – and also bring them in contact with the healing power of the water, osprey, forests, and weather. And while the health benefits of nature are well known, people with physical, as well as “invisible” disabilities may find it hard to access natural areas without (often expensive) adaptive equipment, or adaptations to accessibility such as flat surfaces that can accommodate a wheelchair or cane.

How does nature help those in need of healing, and how can we all help ensure that nature is accessible? And what’s the special connection between veterans and water pollution? Learn about these and more fascinating topics in May’s Conservation Café.
