Media Information

People with Disabilities on Adirondack Pine Forest Trail

Thank you to all of our great media partners who have covered the Adirondack Nature Festival for People with Disabilities with such compassion, and care. You have all been supportive and gracious.

As you know, the festival is focused on providing opportunities for people with disabilities, their families, friends and supporters, to connect with nature together in an environment that is as undisturbed as possible.

We need your help to ensure that everyone can peacefully enjoy the festival, so we ask that you limit your interactions during the event. This includes;

  • Restricting interviews with participants, vendors, speakers, staff, and volunteers.
  • Not recording on any of the trails or program areas while they are being used by our program participants. This includes cameras, cell phones, video cameras, audio recorders, etc.

The only exceptions are during the opening ceremony (ribbon cutting), and opening remarks.

These measures are in place to create a safe, comfortable, and undisturbed environment for all attendees.

We will have professional photographers and cinematographers that will document various aspects of the festival. You can request images, and/or an interview, by using our Contact form, and selecting Media Inquiry as your message subject.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
