Outdoors Without Limits and the GA DNR are happy to announce the formation of the New Public Accessibility Program. This is a Chapter based program. Chapters will sponsors WMA and construct Wheelchair accessable elevated hunting blinds. We are partnering with GA DNR on the projects. DNR will provide the accessable location for the blinds and the ADA compliant plans for the blinds. The Chapters will raise the funds and arrange the construction of the blinds. We have approval for the projects but it will be 1-2 months before the plans are ready for us.
The Commerce Chapter will sponsor 2 WMA's. We hope to have a blind constructed at Wilson Shoals WMA or Oconee WMA before deer season this year and River Bend WMA next spring.
We are going to seek Corporate sponsors to pay for the materials for the blinds and an Eagle Scout Troup has already volunteered to do the labor. We will put up plaques on each blind listing the sponsors.
We urge other chapters to get involved with the program. Our goal is to eventually have 2 accessable blinds at each WMA in GA.
Our goal is that the program eventually will include the construction of Accessable areas along trout streams.
As of now, this is a Georgia Program but I am sure other states will follow suit if someone will just approach them with the idea. It took several months to get approval for Georgia so if you are interested, start as soon as possable. We can get the plans to anyone that is interested as soon as they are available.
