Forest
For All
For every body.
Help make Price Sculpture Forest more accessible in every season.
Campaign Vision & Mission
To make Price Sculpture Forest more accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable for every visitor, regardless of age or mobility, throughout the year.
Through trail improvements, rest and reflection spaces, and care for the sculptures that shape the forest experience.
What is Forest For All
Forest For All is about more than improving a path.
It is about helping every visitor move through the forest with confidence, rest and reflect along the way, and experience the art and nature that make PSF so special.
The campaign focuses on trail access, visitor comfort, and stewardship of the sculpture collection. Together, these improvements help create a safer, more accessible, and more meaningful forest experience throughout the year.
What Your Gift
Makes Possible
Every gift helps open, protect, and sustain the forest for the community. Your support helps create a more accessible, welcoming, and cared-for forest experience.
Why Access Matters?
The Hidden Fence
We are proud to be a 365-day destination, but we know that for some visitors, the forest becomes harder to experience during the rainy season.
Mud, puddles, exposed roots, rocks, and soft ground can turn a peaceful walk into a challenge.
This creates a hidden fence. It is not visible at first glance, but it quietly limits who can fully experience the forest.
For a parent with a stroller.
For a grandparent who needs steady footing.
For a veteran using a wheelchair.
For a senior using a walker.
For anyone recovering from an injury or needing stable ground.
These are not minor inconveniences.
They are barriers to access, comfort, safety, and belonging.
Access shapes the forest experience.
Price Sculpture Forest is a place for movement, reflection, and connection with art and nature — but that experience begins with being able to move through the forest with comfort and confidence.
Access matters because the details of a path, a resting place, or a trail surface can shape who feels welcome, who feels at ease, and who is able to fully experience the forest.
Forest For All supports improvements that help create a more open, inclusive, and welcoming experience for more visitors throughout the year.
ADA Accessible Trail
Movement should not be the barrier.
The Nature Nurtured loop was designed to be wheelchair-friendly, though rain, mud, roots, rocks, and uneven terrain can create barriers and safety concerns for many visitors throughout the year.
ADA Accessible Trail improvements help create a firmer, more stable, more reliable trail experience in every season, which benefits all visitors.
These improvements can support wheelchair users, people using walkers or canes, seniors, families with strollers, children, and anyone who benefits from safer footing.
What your gift supports
- All-weather trail surface
- Drainage improvements
- Root and rock mitigation
- Surface leveling
- Smoother transitions
- Safer movement through wet or uneven areas
What does
ADA accessible mean?
ADA refers to the Americans with Disabilities Act, which helps make public spaces more accessible to people with disabilities.
For trails, ADA-aligned improvements can include firm and stable surfaces, improved drainage, smoother transitions, safer slopes, and fewer barriers from roots, rocks, mud, puddles, or uneven ground.
At PSF, this means a more dependable trail experience for more visitors, in more seasons.
Places to Rest & Reflect
Accessibility includes the
ability to rest and reflect.
Accessibility is not only about moving through the forest. It is also about having thoughtful places to rest, gather oneself, and experience the art and nature with comfort.
For some visitors, a bench or level viewing area is not just a convenience. It can be the difference between rushing through, turning back, or being able to enjoy the forest experience more fully.
What your gift supports
- Accessible sculpture benches
- Level viewing areas
- Rest stations
- Quiet reflection spaces
- Thoughtful places to experience the art
- Natural and artistic seating that fits the forest
Sculpture Guardian
Protecting the art.
Preserving the experience.
The forest gives life to the art, but nature also continuously reshapes it. Rain, moss, moisture, falling debris, and seasonal wear create ongoing care needs for the sculptures.
Sculpture Guardian support helps preserve and maintain the art that inspires wonder throughout the forest.
This work protects more than individual sculptures. It helps preserve the experience of discovering art in nature.
What your gift supports
- Sculpture preservation and seasonal care
- Environmental protection from moss, moisture, and debris
- Conservation and care supplies
- Cleaning and maintenance tools
- Volunteer stewardship support
- Long-term care for outdoor art
Why Now
The need is growing with every season.
Seasonal conditions continue to affect the forest experience. Weather exposure, erosion, forest growth, and increasing visitor use all place pressure on the trails, sculptures, and visitor areas.
Without proactive improvements:
- Accessibility barriers will continue to grow.
- Visitor safety concerns may increase.
- Parts of the experience may become less accessible during wet seasons.
- Sculptures will require more frequent care from moss, moisture, debris, and natural wear.
- Visitors who need stable footing or places to rest may turn back before fully experiencing the forest.
Beginning this work now allows PSF to improve access, strengthen stewardship, and prepare for the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
Campaign Specific
What is Forest For All?
Forest For All is PSF’s accessibility and stewardship campaign. This directly supports a safer, more welcoming, and more accessible year-round forest experience through ADA Accessible Trail improvements, Places to Rest & Reflect, and Sculpture Guardian stewardship. This initiative will benefit all visitors since it improves the trail experience for everyone of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
Why does accessibility matter at PSF?
Our Nature Nurtured trail was designed to be as accessible as reasonably possible for a forest dirt path. However, it still can presents unintended issues with stability, smoothness, trip hazards, and slips from muddy conditions. Access can change with the weather. Rain, mud, puddles, exposed roots, rocks, and uneven surfaces can make the forest harder to navigate for anyone. For some visitors, these conditions are inconvenient. For others, they may become the reason they turn back or can’t experience art and nature at all. This initiative addresses those concerns directly.
Why does sculpture care need support?
The sculptures live outdoors in a dynamic forest environment. Rain, pollen, dirt, moss, moisture, falling debris, and seasonal wear all create ongoing care needs. Sculpture Guardian support helps preserve the art, protect the visitor experience, and strengthen long-term stewardship of the forest.
