Michael Muir, great-grandson of America’s visionary conservationst John Muir, will be a quest speaker at the Wildlife Beyond Border’s Artist talk on Nov 14th at 2:00pm. Michael is the founder/director of the non-profit organization Access Adventure. Their mission: enriching the lives of people with disabilities and other underserved members of our community by providing outdoor recreation, open space access, education and therapy through a working partnership with horses. Of additional interest, Michael will also speak of his recently completed, second 2500 mile Transcontinental Horse Drawn Journey, The Caravan.
Mary Aiu, one of the eleven participating artists has a special connection with Michael, as many of his beautiful Stonewall Sport Horses appear in a number of her photographs. Additionally, she will be the first to tell you, through her lens she too has witnessed the healing powers of the horse as she also photographs Access Adventure at their appearances throughout the greater Bay Area.
