Abstract

The Heritage Corridors Project was a unique partnership between the California Department of Parks and Recreation, the California State University, and the Across California Conservancy. The purpose of the project was to develop a map of selected northern California outdoor recreation and heritage sites. Data about facility accessibility improvements (restrooms, clear access from the designated parking space to the site or facility, Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD), Braille materials, large print materials, and sound amplification devices), and interpretive and recreation amenities were collected. The current accessibility status of interpretation in north central California is reported and serves as a benchmark for access enhancements to sites and programs.
