Designing for individual NETN parks
Interp talk and training
Park staff, visitors, school/community groups
Human activities are causing the climate to change and our
actions today will reflect to the climate of tomorrow.
Measurable Objective(s)
Interp/Educational Technique(s)
This will be a presentation that will be specifically molded to
the unique properties of each individual park unit. I will
present the program to park staff and visitors and be
available as a sort of ‘climate liaison’ to help answer
questions they may have about climate change.

several parks and conclude that the globe is warming; learn
about the carbon cycle and human contribution to climate;
learn about and have opportunity to commit to take action.
