Inclusive Programming Working Group’s mission is creating outdoor spaces which offer inclusive educational programs where everyone can – learn, play, and interact for a full, healthy, active life. Our mission is to ensure that people with disabilities, their families and allies can and do enjoy New Jersey’s extraordinary natural places.
