A local non-profit organization is proving accessibility to the great outdoors to people with physical disabilities, and they're getting ready to host a free event for the whole family.
Hunt 2 Heal is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide accessible, safe, and comfortable outdoor experiences to people with physical disabilities to improve mental health. They have a barrier-free lodge and 640 acres of accessible land, providing an outdoor haven for hunting and other outdoor activities that removes many of the barriers to reconnecting with nature.
Their year-round programs include weekends of hunting, meals, bonfires, and other fun activities. These programs are free to all, and they are currently accepting 2023 deer hunting applications.
