In our October Director’s Message, Conservation and Stewardship Director Chris Dreps discusses opening accessibility to nature through a Universal Accessible Trail at the Eno.

💙💚 To expand accessibility to the beauty of the Eno River, there will be universal trail access at ERA’s Confluence Natural Area. We have begun Phase 1 of a project to transform Rocky Water Path—also known by its Saponi language name, Niste:kmaniątcóx—into a Universal Accessible Trail (UAT). Although under 1 mile long, it will open a serene, wooded nature trail to a part of the Eno that is currently inaccessible to families with disabilities. We hope that those of us with the capacity to make a significant donation will consider supporting ERA’s campaign to fund this trail that will open up nature for so many people in our area.
