Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD): EXPLORE!

Join us on June 4th, 2024 at 1:00 PM for a webinar, "Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD): EXPLORE!", presented by the TPWD Accessibility Manager and the State Parks Chief of Programs. Discover the latest updates and initiatives across Texas public lands, focusing on accessibility and inclusivity. From camping in a state park to touring a fish hatchery to renewing your hunting license at a law enforcement office, TPWD is committed to outdoor access for all Texans and is making strides every day to increase accessibility to facilities, programs, and services.

Learn about the different programs offered by the agency including boating education, learn-to-hunt programs, camping, and online education opportunities you can enjoy from home. TPWD staff will share resources for visitors with disabilities and demonstrate how to navigate the TPWD website to find the information you need to visit.

During this Zoom session, we'll highlight accessible facilities and outdoor spaces and discuss the role that accessibility plays in new parks and projects. Get information on adaptive equipment and all-terrain wheelchairs, making modification requests, and employment and volunteer opportunities that allow you to make a difference in our parks and beyond.

Make sure that you have everything you need to make an informed decision about visiting a TWPD facility and participating in a program. Register today for a fun trip into the world of Texas parks and wildlife! [ [link removed] ]
