Leslie's Accessible Walks

11/12/2025

A few weeks ago I was interviewed for the Mind-Body-Health radio show on our local KZYX radio station. Today (11/11) it was aired: https://jukebox.kzyx.org/ Look for the green-highlighted show; my portion begins 9:45 into the hour. It's all about my Accessible Walks program. It gave me an opportunity to thank many of the people who have helped this program launch and continue. Thanks to... Huerta and Michelle Moncivais Duarte at Blue Zones Project, Mendocino Art Center, Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, Mendocino Area Parks Association, California State Parks Foundation Alison, Anica Wiggle, and Katherine, Mary Rose Kaczorowski, CAL FIRE Jackson Demonstration State Forest, Amy Wolitzer, and many others. ❤
