Jurisdiction-wide - Interpretive Sign Program
The project will develop and produce interpretive signange focusing on self-directed learning at locations throughout Three Rivers Park District. This program will provide 24/7 education materials, designed to be ADA Accessible, and to be translatable in multiple languages using QR codes. Signage will be developed and installed throughout the Park District. The actual final number of signs, along with use of interactive features such as QR Code site visits, will be used to help measure the success of the program.
