Just returned from a great 5 day workshop in Saint Paul, Minnesota hosted by the National Association of Interpretation (NAI). Learned a lot about developing interpretive media for sites (from printed display panels to ipad apps), got to travel along the Mississippi River to see Bald Eagles and Tundra Swans (as well as probably 150,000 various ducks floating in rafts). Really educational AND fun trip. Met lots of really interesting folks–everyone from nature center directors to National Park Service front-line interpreters (the folks that tell you the story of the tree while you hike along) and Bureau of Land Management folks. So much stuff for us to do in Alabama!
