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.

Immerse yourself in Beethoven’s revolutionary piano sonatas with celebrated pianist Jeremy Denk in three evenings of brilliant performance and insightful commentary.
Each 75-minute lecture-recital highlights a masterwork (or two) — the stormy drama of Op. 31 “Tempest,” the transcendent beauty of Op. 110, and his final piano sonata Op. 111 — thoughtfully paired with complementary pieces that reveal new dimensions of Beethoven’s genius from Nina Simone to Ligeti and Wagner.
