Everyone should be able to get out in nature regardless of your age or ability.  Thankfully, NatureTrack, a local nonprofit in Santa Barbara County, is helping people with mobility limitations continue to explore and have adventures outdoors.

Freedom Trax is a manual wheelchair that can be quickly transformed into a battery-powered, all-terrain vehicle that easily traverses beaches and trails. NatureTrack helps wheelchair users or those with a physical disability access and explore beaches and trails from San Luis Obispo to Ventura. Wheelchair users can independently enjoy nature alongside family and friends.

NatureTrack also offers a Seniors’ Trax Program where it partners with assisted living and senior communities to provide no-cost, guided outdoor experiences, bringing the joy, beauty, and benefits of nature to those who need it most. The program ensures that older adults—regardless of mobility—can experience the restorative power of nature. Locations include: local beaches, trails, and parks, each thoughtfully tailored to participant needs.

To remove barriers even further, NatureTrack can provide group transportation through its ADA-accessible van, making it easier for residents to participate in these meaningful outdoor experiences.

Customized outings are also available for individuals and small groups, creating opportunities for connection, fresh air, and joy in the natural world.
