Project: The Cache Creek Nature Preserve, managed by the Cache Creek Conservancy, boasts a delicate yet diverse environment of various plant species, migratory birds, and wetlands. The project, Restore/Restory tells the complex history of the Preserve, a 130-acre parcel that was once home to Native American camps, later to ranches, then to gravel mines and, most recently, to an environmental education center. An audio tour of the Preserve will be available on the project website and on iPods available at the Preserve. The audio tour will feature a diverse group of narrators, each of whom will relate their experiences with the land at several different sites on the Preserve. Design an interpretive marker/sign system to guide visitors between the audio stops and introduce the content. Focus will be placed in the aspects of audience, site, and content, which will further manifest in the areas of audio management (drop off/pick-up/realization of audio technology), directional markers, and interpretive markers.
