Interpretation handbook & standard: Distilling the essence

Published:

2005

Learn how to create enjoyable and memorable visitor experiences using interpretation.

Summary

Crafting interpretive media requires the elements of research, knowledge, vision, project management and experience to come together in a mix of science and art.

This handbook is designed to assist DOC staff and others translating the conservation vision into action by developing effective messages and stories about New Zealand's natural and cultural inheritance and its preservation. It provides best practice guidance about communicating clearly, planning interpretation, and guided and self-guided techniques.

Printed copies

At present the Interpretation handbook and standard is out of print.
