Description
The national butterfly center will create interpretive signage to illustrate the value and benefit of native plants to human beings and provide information concerning the wildlife species that depend upon them. The center will draw from previously inaccessible resources to create 200 interpretive signs in both english and spanish, featuring color photographs of native plants. Publishing these resources as colorful and concise signs placed throughout the botanical gardens will increase interest in and understanding of native plants and the role they play in the ecosystem. Due to low literacy and english-proficiency rates among the center's predominantly hispanic population, the use of photos is a critical interpretive element. The goal of these signs is to educate visitors ways they can help reverse habitat loss by incorporating these functional and fruitful, drought-resistant and pollinator-friendly plants in their own gardens.
