Expression of Interest for Joining the Trail Accessibility Advisory Council

Thank you for being willing to share your lived experience, perspectives, and recommendations with Wissahickon Trails to help make our preserves, trails, and trail features more accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities and other access challenges!

In order to ensure we have a diverse range of access challenges represented in the Trail Accessibility Advisory Council, please use the form below to share a few details about yourself.

The information you provide will not be used against you in any way, and will be considered confidential. The only people who will have access to your responses are Wissahickon Trails staff and consultants who have a justifiable need for this information, particularly so we can ensure that the Trail Accessibility Advisory Council includes a broad group of people.

After you submit this form, if you are invited to be part of our Trail Accessibility Advisory Council we ask that you attend three virtual meetings that will last 1.5 hours and, ideally, an in-person session during late-September 2023 at a time that will be arranged based on each Council member’s availability. Virtual meetings will be held on Wednesday evenings from 7-8:30pm Eastern on: July 26, 2023, September 6, 2023, and November 15, 2023. If you cannot commit to attending at least two of the virtual meetings, we thank you for your interest in participating but request that you do not continue further with this expression of interest form. 

Please submit this form by Tuesday, July 11th, 2023. We will email you to let you know whether or not  you have been selected for the Council by Friday, July 14th, 2023.

If you have any questions about participating in the Trail Accessibility Advisory Council, please email Margaret Rohde, Conservation Manager, Wissahickon Trails at margaret@wissahickontrails.org or call Wissahickon Trails’ office at 215-646-8866.
