"Nothing about us, without us" is a phrase in the disability rights movement referring to the importance of including people with disabilities in processes that will affect them. Launching a new focus on improved access for people with disabilities, Kaniksu Land Trust aims to center this new initiative on that philosophy.

KLT has been awarded a $15,000 grant from the Land Trust Alliance’s 2024 Partnerships for Disability Access, Inclusion, and Leadership Grant. The funding will allow KLT to begin work on improving access and inclusivity for people with disabilities across its sites, programs and information.

"Nature should be accessible to everyone," said Katie Cox, KLT Executive Director.
