Nature Freedom

Nature Freedom was founded by Mathew Townsend in 2017. Its aim is to create inclusive and accessible nature-based activities to facilitate community engagement. We further aim to provide employment opportunities within our organisation for people with disabilities. All our activities, programs and tours are co-designed by people with disabilities and relevant community groups. We prioritise collaboration with industry, government, private and public organisations and communities to form strong partnerships and develop better ideas and methods for inclusion. Through our partnerships and collaborations, we aim to: • Promote inclusion in activities, communities and workplaces for people with disabilities. • Develop co-designed integrated models for inclusion. • Challenge approaches to gaining meaningful experiences for people with disabilities. • Focus on lived experiences.
