Korea Trip and JV book may be published in Italy!

Hi folks. I have been contacted by Marta Brunelli PhD, Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Educazione e della Formazione Università degli Studi di Macerata, in Italy about publishing my text book "Interpretive Master Planning" in Italian! As you may know, the book was just published in Chinese last year. Besides being a real honor, it is nice to know that our successful interpretive planning strategies are being used in other countries and by other interpreters. I will keep you posted as this project moves along. Getting ready for my Korea trip on Saturday. We will be looking at interpretive planning for outdoor exhibits and demonstrations for the Mountain Sanctuary and Climate Change Center project. The photo is of a planning review at the Mountain Sanctuary site last month reviewing the draft development plans.

Korea and California

Hi folks,

Enjoying a quiet day off (Presidents day). On Saturday I head back to Korea for a week to work on the planning for the Mountain Sanctuary and Climate Change Center, then home for a day and off to CA. JVA was awarded a contract to develop a Interpretive Systems Plan for the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District's . Details are available at my web site: http://www.heritageinterp.com. More from Korea later.

Bangor Historical Society Plans New Museum

Just back from working with a team from Architecture + Design to conduct an interpretive planning focus workshop for the Bangor Historical Society in Bangor Michigan. They are great folks who want an innovative approch to celebrating the history of their city and community. This will include a new museum building and includes a "the city as the museum" program that will locate interpretive panels located in the downtown area interpreting historic buildings, and developing a variety of interpretive walking tours.
