Wheelchair-accessible hiking with Enock Glidden

What are the benefits of having more wheelchair-accessible trails? They allow people with mobility challenges to have a chance to connect with the wonders of Maine's outdoors and each other.

In this Borealis story, we take to the trails with Enock Glidden, an adventurer, blogger and accessibility advocate, as he leads a group of hikers with Spina Bifida around the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge: An annual event that holds special meaning for Glidden.

Join these hikers as they "create sparks" and, like Enoch, ask "How can I" instead of "Can I?"

Learn more about the Spina Bifida Association of Greater New England and their work!

Borealis is made possible by the generous support of our Production Sponsors, The Nature Conservancy in Maine and Poland Spring.

And by our Broadcast Sponsors, Evergreen Home Performance, Conservation Law Foundation, and the Maine Office of Tourism.
