September Update

Hi folks,
It has been a busy month.  Recent issue of InterpNEWS was sent out (Sep-Oct Issue) and I am working on the Nov-Dec issue.  Just got back for Wales, UK from teaching a 4-day Interpretive Master Planning Course and it looks like I will be in India at the end of September to give a keynote presentation at an interpretation conference.  In the meantime, more work with Metroparks of the Toledo Area, Falmouth Historic District Interpretive Plan, and USFWS Cape May Visitor Services Plan.  Phew.   A few Pics  - The cover for the Sep/Oct issue, and our Interpretive Master Planning Course group photo (Sept. 2013).

Catching up

Hi

It's been a few months - just been busy.  I had heart valve surgery on June 11th and still in the process of re-hab and resting.  Have 3 more weeks of re-hab work to do but getting back to work slowly this week.  This was quite an experience that I will have to "interpret" some time.  Other news - still working on projects with MetroParks of the Toledo Area (Prospect MetroPark Interpretive Plan) and will be starting a new project with them for the Chesie Circle Trail Interpretive Plan (an 11-mile rails to trails project).  Also still working on the Falmouth Historic District IP, and the Cape May NWR interpretive plan.

My international heritage interpretation e-magazine InterpNEWS now has over 5000 readers in 24 countries.  Subscriptions are free - just send me your e-mail (jvainterp@aol.com) and I will add you to the list and send you the current issue. Here is the cover for the upcoming Sep/Oct 2013 issue.
That's about it - JV

Falmouth VA Historic District and Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center

  It ths been a busy start for the month.  Last week I was in Falmouth, VA starting work on the Falmouth Historic District Interpretive Plan.  The photos of the brick building shows one of the buildings from Colonial times.
 
Then on to San Francisco to work on an interpretive exhibit concept plan for the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center - a very large salt marsh with important environmental stories to tell and illustrate. The photo shows a general salt marsh seen.  All in all a busy but enjoyable week.

February Update

Hi folks.  Here is the Feb. update.  InterpNEWS, my new international heritage interpretation e-magazine now has over 3000 readers in 22 countries.  The photo on the left will be the cover photo for the May/June issue (know what it shows)?  New updates, just finished the first of three Corps of Engineer Ranger interpretive 4-day training courses in Huntsville, AL.  The first week of March I will be in San Francisco working with the Hayward Nature Center on Interpretive Exhibit Planning.  And yesterday we were notified that we were awarded with our team headed my Management Analysis Inc. of Virginia, the Visitor Services Management Plan project for Cape May National Wildlife Refuge.  On Monday I have meetings with Toledo Metro Parks looking at some interpretive master planning projects.  Looks like a busy spring. :)
