Ascend Cares Volunteers Start Work On New Roy Hyatt Sensory Trail

January 11, 2026

Volunteers from Ascend Cares participated in a work day on Friday at the Roy Hyatt Environmental Center.

They helped start construction of the new Roy Hyatt Sensory Trail. They worked on “Windows to the Wind,” a “Whirling Wind Station,” “Crunch Trail,” a huge xylophone, a human-sized bamboo wind chime, and a natural wood binocular station.

The Ascend volunteers will return to Roy Hyatt this week to complete the project.

    A huge Thank You to the Ascend Volunteers. If not for you, this project would have taken at least twice as long to come to life. But most important, all of this is for the students of Escambia County School District. I know the two ladies that work there truly appreciate each and every one of you. Thank You, again.
