Project Summary & Public Benefits
The Natural Resources Department will be creating, constructing, and installing interpretive, natural resource art installations throughout significant natural areas to educate patrons about natural history and the environment.
The project goals for Nature Revealed: Discovering Nature through Art are as follows:
1) Encourage, and allow for, repeat visitation and engagement in natural processes and our natural areas.
2) Increase patron's observation skills of the natural environment.
3) Increase patron's knowledge and understanding of ecology and the interconnectedness between people and natural resources.
