NR problem solving, environmental education project.

Abstract

This environmental education project aimed to create two visual educational boards for the display cases at Wilderness State Park campground. One board focused on the endangered Piping Plover, the other on dune ecology. The primary objective of this project was to provide members of the public with ecological information in order to motivate them to help preserve specific facets of the environment. Difficulties encountered included having to wait longer than expected for prints to be developed, being limited to supplies available at stores at which the DNR has charge accounts, and being given conflicting information concerning the most effective method for mounting prints. We advise future groups to send their negatives to be developed early and to research what supplies they have to work with as early into their project as possible.
