Uplifting Experience: ‘David’s Chair’ makes Mt. Pisgah accessible
via all-terrain vehicle

BOB WILLIAMS / THE CHRONICLE Ilana Jakubowski said she expects the “David’s Chair” vehicle to be a popular destination during the spring.

It’s amazing what can happen when a group of community-oriented, like-minded, creative-thinking folks gets the ball rolling on an important local project. 

Thanks to those efforts, the wheels are rolling at Mt. Pisgah Arboretum in Buford Park.

“We started hosting David’s Chair last fall,” said Ilana Jakubowski, the Arboretum’s executive director. “It’s been a slow rollout with the winter season. I’m excited about springtime with good weather coming.”

David’s Chair is a motorized, all-terrain chair designed to travel over trails, beaches, and snow. It is named for David Hartrick, of Eagle Point, Ore., who died in 2018, a year and a half after being diagnosed with ALS, who wanted to make sure that other mobility-limited people could enjoy the great outdoors. There are now eight sites in Oregon that have David’s Chairs.
