This project aims to enhance visitor engagement and environmental education at red rock canyon national conservation area (rrcnca) by developing indoor exhibits that highlight three native mojave desert habitats: desert riparian, sandstone outcrop, and desert floor. Living displays featuring species such as the chorus frog, gopher snake, and desert tarantula will be integrated into the visitor center, supporting youth and educational programming. The projects measurable outcomes center on improving visitor learning, strengthening community engagement, and ensuring smooth, sustainable operations. Success will be reflected in higher levels of visitor participation and engagement, stronger conservation awareness captured through feedback and program involvement, and increased school and community group connections measured by attendance and educator input. Environmental stewardship will be tracked through visitor pledges, comments, and social media responses.
