Work with Disabled Individuals

With the help of Mike Corsini of Tacoma Neighborhood Networks Center (TNNC), PCRS* has succeeded in obtaining grants specifically for the purpose of facilitating involvement of the community's disabled, minority, and low-income individuals in the riparian restoration of an urban stream. Some of our grantors include the Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team (PSWQAT), the City of Tacoma, FishAmerica, and the National Oceanographic and Aerospace Administration (NOAA). Using these grants, we* have developed guidelines for getting disabled individuals involved, including the hearing and sight impaired. PCRS has many volunteers who participate on a regular basis. We have a program established with the University of Puget Sound in their OT/PT (Occupational Therapy/Physical Therapy) program where students work with our disabled participants.
