🗻 Making nature accessible - We're so excited to have Austin Nicassio, Director and Founder of Accessible Off-Road (AOR), speak at our Earth Month Wild & Scene Film Festival (4/12, 4/25, 4/26). Comment EARTHMONTH to get your tickets!⁠ ⁠ Austin is the Director and Founder of Accessible Off-Road (AOR), a nonprofit dedicated to breaking down barriers to outdoor access for people with mobility disabilities. With a Master’s in Astronautical Engineering, Austin has spent ten years at Boeing as a Lead Systems Engineer, managing the integration of complex space systems.⁠ ⁠ In 2022, Austin became disabled and experienced firsthand the exclusion many face at trailheads. After testing an all-terrain track chair, he rediscovered the freedom of the outdoors and knew he had to share it with his community. That vision led to Accessible Off-Road, which is already working in partnership with California State Parks and Los Angeles County Parks to launch adaptive hiking programs in Southern California. Austin’s leadership, featured by outlets like the LA Times and CBS News, combines technical expertise with lived experience to drive a powerful movement: ensuring that everyone belongs outdoors.⁠ ⁠ #PalosVerdesLandConservancy #PalosVerdes #SouthBay #NativePlants #VolunteerOpportunities
