EASY ACCESS

The Easy Access program, offered in conjunction with the National Park Service and the National Center on Accessibility (NCA), strives to bring the beauty of America’s great outdoors within easy reach of all visitors, particularly people with disabilities and seniors.  Across the United States, Pioneers adopted the program in 1991 and since have volunteered over 100,000 hours and helped complete over 150 accessibility projects in 75 national parks.

Northwood State Park, in Northwood New Hampshire, has been an EASY ACCESS project of the Jasper N. Keller Pioneers for many years now.  Most recently in September 2002, twenty five or so Pioneers, their families and friends gathered for an entire day of cleaning out culverts, rebuilding worn down trails, planted flowers, cut down trees and heavy brush overhanging the main road into the park, and cleared brush by the ponds to make the area more  accessible to the physically challenged, especially those in wheelchairs.
