Explore the Beach Like Never Before with NatureTrack Trax Accessibility Program! NatureTrack Foundation is making beaches and trails more accessible by offering monthly outings where individuals can experience the outdoors using the Freedom Trax device. This innovative mobility solution transforms a manual wheelchair into an all-terrain power chair, enabling greater independence and adventure in nature.
In addition to the monthly outings, NatureTrack also offers the Freedom Trax for people to borrow free of charge, allowing individuals to take the device on their own outdoor adventures at no cost.
Discover how you can take part in these accessible experiences at NatureTrack.org.

Join us at the historic Bay Theatre for an evening of surf and earth-inspired films. We'll be featuring multiple award winning film The Road to Patagonia, an inspiring story of surf, adventure, and love—the love of two people, of humanity, and for the earth. The Road to Patagonia won the Best Film and Best Documentary at the Byron Bay International Film Festival, the Audience Choice awards at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival and Florida Surf Film Festival.
—We're also showcasing Para Siempre Coco, a short 8mm surf and travel film documented and scored by local surfers Sequoia Wade-Dunleavy and Scott Smith.
—And we're showing Morro Bay High School Film Festival winner Trashman by Eli Waldman and Thomas Standridge, an ecological short story about trash filmed on the Central Coast.
We'll have local wine, beer, and cider and slices from Pizza Port to purchase at the event—and a chance to win 2 nights at Treebones Resort and 1 dinner at the Lodge Restaurant in Big Sur.
The proceeds will go towards serving our most vulnerable neighbors.

Spokes Ask an Expert is a series of small-group learning sessions that bring together nonprofit leaders and staff with local experts to explore timely and relevant topics.

In this session, a people and culture expert will share practical strategies for supporting staff morale in the face of today’s challenges—from funding uncertainty to immigration-related fears—and will answer questions in a live Q&A. Learn to recognize early warning signs of declining morale, understand how ongoing uncertainty impacts teams, and gain tools to build trust and foster transparency.

The following topics could serve as a basis for generating questions:
—Ensuring staff are trained to respond effectively during high-stress situations
—Preparing for emotionally charged events, such as ICE activity
—Supporting staff through funding instability and budget cuts
—Mitigating risk of employee turnover during times of uncertainty
—Managing negativity and burnout in team culture
—Leading with transparency without increasing staff anxiety.
