Indiana DNR looking for feedback on accessibility

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is looking to the people for input on accessibility.

The DNR has created a short five-question survey online asking people where they like to visit and if there are barriers that would keep people from coming. This is in an effort to support accessibility options for people when visiting the parks.

“Exploring Indiana’s great outdoors is a pastime that must be available to everyone,” said Dan Bortner, DNR Director. “It’s exciting to see people find new experiences to enjoy through the accessibility webpage we launched this year. Through feedback we receive on this survey, we will continue working to improve accessibility and help overcome barriers that may prevent people from experiencing Indiana’s incredible natural and cultural wonders.”

The DNR’s new accessibility page provides information on their accessibility options for people planning their trips. The DNR plans to use feedback from the survey to add new accessible activities. As they work to add and refine accessible activities for their properties the webpage will be updated in an effort to give people more options outside.

“The DNR continues to make strides towards improving access, and we encourage people to reach out to our properties with accessibility questions,” said Ric Edwards, DNR Director of ADA Compliance. “We are fully committed to creating memorable, natural outdoors experiences for everyone to enjoy.”
