Phase One of RRA's
Accessibility Project
|
|
Dear Friends,
Happy Fall! As the leaves change and drop, as the goats leave, and as we start putting our gardens to bed for the season, our dreams are about the coming months and what lies ahead for Reeves-Reed Arboretum.
Together, we continue to shape, build and celebrate a diverse community of people who share complex, nature-rich, transforming experiences. To that end, we've just completed Phase One of our two-phased Accessibility Project. As our vision for Phase Two solidifies, we encourage each and every one in our Arboretum community to learn more about this extraordinary and important initiative. For more information or if you want to be an active participant in shaping and realizing the legacy of service for Reeves-Reed Arboretum, feel free to get in touch. When we focus on higher values and delight our customers, we are on the road to creating that legacy.
Cheers,
