Everyone Belongs Outdoors
At Lacawac Sanctuary, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience nature. Through accessible facilities, adaptive equipment, sensory-inclusive practices, and inclusive environmental education, we are working to remove barriers and create meaningful outdoor experiences for people of all abilities.
Why It Matters
The outdoors restores, inspires, and connects us. For individuals with disabilities, time in nature can reduce stress, improve physical health, and strengthen community connections. By opening doors and creating inclusive pathways, Lacawac is helping ensure that the joy and benefits of nature are shared by all.
Explore Nature Your Way
Adaptive Outdoor Equipment
Visitors can explore Lacawac using adaptive mobility equipment, including Pride Baja Wrangler Scooters, a GRIT Freedom Chair, and a Lasher all-terrain wheelchair. Advance arrangements are recommended.

Sensory-Inclusive
As a KultureCity Sensory Inclusive location, Lacawac provides resources and support to help visitors with sensory needs enjoy a more comfortable experience.
Accessible Education
Our environmental educators can adapt programs for different physical, sensory, and learning needs. Hands-on activities allow participants to experience nature through observation, touch, sound, movement, and discovery.
Accessible Spaces
We continue to improve trails, facilities, gathering spaces, signage, and outdoor experiences to make more of Lacawac accessible to everyone.
Coming in 2027: Lacawac will introduce a new Braille Trail, creating an enhanced nature experience for visitors who are blind or have low vision through accessible interpretation and opportunities to experience the natural world through multiple senses.
