Hi Kristen- Reaching out to you in your role as the local President of the National Federation of the Blind. Please see the opportunities below, we would love your help in connecting with folks to help us inform this exciting work! --- Help us a design a new trail coming to the North Corvallis area! About the Project Greenbelt Land Trust, Benton County Health Department, and Disabled Hikers are collaborating to design a trail that is enjoyable and accessible for people of all abilities.

Who We’re Hoping to Hear From We invite feedback from people with disabilities—including those who are disabled, deaf, blind, neurodivergent, or chronically ill—as well as family members, caregivers, and those who work closely with these communities. How will feedback inform the project? Community feedback will directly guide the trail’s sensory, accessible, and wayfinding features throughout the Owens Farm trail system. Opportunities to Participate: Survey * Take and share the survey at the link: https://bit.ly/owens-farm-survey * Chance to win one of four $50 Visa gift cards if survey response is received by 8/31/26 Virtual Focus group: a conversation to discuss experiences facing barriers in the outdoors with others who also identify as individuals with disabilities * Thursday, August 20, 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM, Zoom * Sign up to participate with the link: https://bit.ly/owens-farm-focus-group * Participants will receive a $50 Visa Gift-Card for their time Key Informant Interviews: an individual 30-minute interview with a member of the project team to share your personal experiences or experiences of people with disabilities you care for who have allowed you to share with the project team. * Participants will receive a $50 Visa Gift Card for their time * Sign up for an interview time through the link below: https://bit.ly/owensfarm-interview For questions or inquires you can just reply here or contact Kailey Lam at kailey at greenbeltlandtrust.org Thank you!

I wonder if we could try to essentially recruit more people to the NFB by posting in newsletters for OSU, Lynn Benton Community College, and possibly other places. OSU also used to have an organization called the Disability Student Union, so I wonder if they might be willing to help. I thought this might be a good idea because new blind students often don't get the support they need for all kinds of things, so there are a lot of ways we could help. Best, Avery
