This week we’re joined by an incredible team from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR):

Pamela Corwin – Saltwater Recreational Fishing Outreach Biologist

Alix Pedraza – Director of Community Engagement

Mark Carroll – Wildlife Biologist

We’re rolling into what true accessibility in the outdoors looks like, from the mountains to the coast of South Carolina.

Pamela shares what inclusion looks like in saltwater programs and her favorite way to enjoy time on the water.

Mark breaks down the impact of mobility-impaired hunts in the Upstate, what opportunities are out there, and what an accessible hunt looks like.

Alix talks about the real challenges of community engagement and what it takes to connect more people with the outdoors.

We also get into:

• The rise of adaptive equipment like track wheelchairs

• Barriers keeping people with mobility impairments from getting back outdoors

• South Carolina’s lifetime license program

• “Take One Make One” and growing participation

• The shift toward more diversity, including women in outdoor careers

This is a powerful conversation about breaking barriers and building access for ALL.

Listen now and be part of the movement.
