Manuals

Training for Interpretation: Putting Interpretation to Conservation (2007). This manual is next generation after Rare's Nature Guide Training Manual (see below). I am developing this manual along with its program as the interpretive trainer at Fermata, Inc. in association with Dr. Sam Ham, principal collaborator. The materials were first piloted at the World Birding Center and thereafter I assembled the materials into the first draft manual. © Fermata, Inc.
