Natural resources interpretation: the role of researchers a new-old approach

Abstract

For the past several years interpretive programs for visitors at Isle Royale National Park have included presentations by natural resources researchers. These researchers are presenting the findings of their Lake Superior and Isle Royale National Park research directly to the public. This cooperative and developing project involves many individuals representing many fields in a joint venture bringing together Michigan Technological University (MTU) and the National Park Service (NPS) personnel. Park personnel and University staff have been very supportive of these successful efforts to create an additional interpretive experience for Park visitors.
