Non-Personal Interpretation provides visitors with opportunities to learn about the natural and cultural history of state parks at their leisure. Non-personal interpretation is an effective way to reach a wide variety of visitors without hosting a formal interpretive program. Wayfinding by using "You are Here" signs is an essential part of navigating state parks.
Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
125 non-personal interpretive signs and "you are here" (wayfinding) signs will be placed in state parks by the end of the biennium.
Measurable Outcome(s)
303 total signs have already been placed in state parks or are currently on order. 44 interpretive panels, 207 "you are here" signs, and 52 kiosks.
