DNR seeks public feedback with an accessibility survey

INDIANA— The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is asking Hoosiers to complete a survey about accessibility features at DNR properties across the state.

The five-question survey can be found online and consists of questions ranging from what barriers prevent someone from visiting a DNR property to what DNR properties Hoosiers enjoy visiting the most.

The feedback from the survey will be used to update the DNR’s accessibility webpage and show DNR officials what can still be added to properties across the state.

In late March, the DNR revamped its accessibility webpage to streamline the experience and succinctly show everything the DNR has to offer for people suffering from disabilities.

“Exploring Indiana’s great outdoors is a pastime that must be available to everyone,” said DNR Director Dan Bortner in a press release Wednesday. “It’s exciting to see people find new experiences to enjoy through the accessibility webpage we launched this year.”

The DNR offers several sites across the state where those with disabilities can fish, hunt, view wildlife, explore trails, and visit beaches.
