<br />PROPOSED WORK PLAN
<br />I: Interpretive Framework
<br />§ Review existing materials. Meet with planning team, read up on relevant history, and visit
<br />the site if possible.
<br />§ Describe potential audiences. Who must this park serve to meet the project’s vision and
<br />purpose? When are various audiences likely to visit? What are their motivations?
<br />§ Develop interpretive themes and identify possible stories. Themes describe what the place
<br />is about and hold the specific stories that engage visitors.
<br />§ Describe strategies for engaging visitors at a series of trail locations. For trail signs, these
<br />strategies will evolve around types of images and illustrations, choice of narrative voice and
<br />historical quotes, viewing prompts and framing, and site orientation.
