Interpretation
Interpretation helps visitors appreciate how parks and resources are relevant to important values in their lives. It’s how we reveal the deeper significance of a site and plant seeds of stewardship. When we’re wildly successful, visitors of all backgrounds understand that natural, cultural, and recreational resources are integral to their everyday lives.
