Donate to make parks accessible
Making nature more accessible can be accomplished without causing instability in the delicate balance of nature. It would be wonderful if all areas of each park were fully accessible, but the national parks do not have the necessary resources and how far do we push accessibility before damaging the natural habitat? It seems the natural pathway to access is litigation, but has it been determined what needs to be accessible? The cash flow is now a slow drip into the national parks. Instead of litigation concerning park accessibility, are there other ways to locate the financial resources to make areas of interest accessible? Individual and corporate donations could be sought for making designated park areas. The money would be expended on these areas only. Some places in the country may sell a brick with the buyer's name on it. This may not be permitted by the national parks but it would be one way to build or refurbish an accessible area. Cement may be used so why not brick paving with a name from whom a donation came? We would gladly give if there were an institution set up to receive "park accessibility" donations in designated parks. Anyone having thoughts on this process, please contact us. Sitting at an attraction on a brick sidewalk showing the brick to your grandkids and explaining how you helped to make this site accessible would be impressive; the children and grandchildren taking pride in becoming a part of their country's national heritage.
