Interpretation matters! Good interpretation increases environmental and cultural literacy and creates feelings of connection and stewardship. These are core elements of sustainability. Through interpretation and education, parks, museums and interpretive sites can ease the transition into a resilient future. |
Focus on visitor experience We are advocates for your visitors, from school children to tourists. We strongly believe that developing deep understandings of their current knowledge and interests, activities and motivations for visiting will help us to tailor delightful authentic experiences for them. Learning is an active experience Current learning theory asserts that people learn best through interacting directly with things in their environment and that then construct new knowledge and their own meaning from these experiences.The job of interpreters and educators is to facilitate and enable visitors to ask questions, form and test ideas, discuss their findings and feel a sense of connection. |
Let the features of your site speak We are advocates for your site as well. We believe that detailed knowledge of the natural and cultural features and processes at your site is essential to design effective low-impact education and interpretation. Heritage buildings, artifacts, science, and other subjects can find a voice through EcoLeaders. Not a cookie-cutter approach We believe that each interpretive site is unique. We base our planning and program development on your visitors, site and situation. |
