Western Macedonia Model Forest presented its cutting-edge environmental tools and the 'Joelette'-a special wheelchair designed for mountain trails. This marked the second appearance of the Joelette, following its official debut at the FORESTIVAL in early September. The initiative highlights the importance of inclusivity in nature, offering access to outdoor activities for individuals with mobility challenges. |
