Nature Program Serves Adults with Disabilities

Adults with disabilities are taking part in the Nature Program at GIENC. They spend a portion of their day planting and harvesting produce which is donated to the local Food Bank (over 1,000 lbs. this year), planting flowers, hiking the nature trails and working on nature crafts.
