Accessibility
Statement.

Accessibility is core to DBNR’s mission. We design and build our programs, events, and digital experiences to be usable by the widest possible range of people — including those who use assistive technology, have sensory or cognitive differences, or experience chronic illness or pain.

This is an ongoing effort, not a one-time project. We continue to learn from the community we serve.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make digital content more accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological differences.

Features we’ve built into this site include:

• Semantic HTML with clear heading structure and landmarks
• Keyboard-accessible navigation and interactive elements
• Descriptive alt text for meaningful images
• Sufficient color contrast for text and interactive controls
• Visible focus indicators
• Responsive design that scales to mobile and zoomed views
• Captions and transcripts for video content where available

We know we’re not perfect. Some areas we’re actively improving:

• Some older photos and media may be missing descriptive alt text or captions.
• Certain third-party embedded tools (like donation forms) may not fully meet our standards.
• PDFs and legacy documents may not yet be fully tagged for screen readers.

If you run into a specific barrier, please let us know — we’ll prioritize fixing it.

Parts of the site rely on third-party services (for example, Keela for donations, or embedded videos). While we choose partners who take accessibility seriously, we don’t control every aspect of their interfaces. If a third-party tool is blocking you, email us and we’ll help you complete the action another way.

This site is designed to work with modern screen readers (such as VoiceOver, NVDA, and JAWS), speech recognition software, keyboard-only navigation, and browser zoom up to 200%. If you encounter specific issues with your assistive technology, please tell us which tool and version you’re using so we can reproduce and fix the problem.

If something on this site or in our programs isn’t accessible to you, please reach out. We’ll work with you to provide the information or experience in another format and to fix the underlying issue.

You can also request a specific piece of content (a page, document, or program material) in an alternate format — such as large print, plain text, or a described version.
