Nature for All: Access Ability Wisconsin Powers CWF3’s 2025 Disabled Bear Hunt

This fall, as dawn breaks over the quiet forest, a custom-built, track-equipped wheelchair will roll along a cleared trail—its rider—the first of many—ready to reconnect with a lifelong love of hunting. That rolling testament to inclusion is thanks to the beautiful collaboration between Access Ability Wisconsin and Central Wisconsin Fur, Fin & Feather (CWF3).

Who Is Access Ability Wisconsin (AAW)?
A grassroots 501(c)(3), AAW is on a mission to ensure that nature is accessible to everyone—regardless of mobility limitations. By offering adaptive equipment reservations—like outdoor track wheelchairs —they enable individuals to explore the outdoors, with minimal disruption to both nature and their freedom to roam.


What’s the 2025 CWF3 Disabled Bear Hunt All About?
Scheduled for fall 2025, this hunt is more than a chance to bag a trophy—it’s a community event built around accessibility, shared stories, and unforgettable outdoor experiences. CWF3’s latest blog paints the picture: trails freshly cleared, blinds checked and made safe, stumps ready, volunteers scouting—every detail meticulously arranged to ensure smooth and safe participation.


How AAW Makes a Difference
By providing adaptive mobility gear, AAW helps remove physical barriers: participants can traverse rugged terrain, access hunting blinds, and immerse fully—safely—in the hunt. Their efforts align seamlessly with CWF3’s mission, where everyone takes part, shares stories, and experiences the joy of nature.

How You Can Help

  • Volunteer your time for trail prep, equipment loading, or participant assistance.
  • Donate to AAW or CWF3 to keep adaptive experiences affordable and accessible.
  • Share this post and spread the word: support meaningful inclusion in Wisconsin’s great outdoors.


With AAW and CWF3 leading the way, we’re paving the path for access—for every trail, every story, every heart ready to embrace the wild.
