Through Their Eyes

Regularly review and update publications and signage. New employees, interns, or volunteers with fresh eyes can help you see areas for improvement. With busy schedules, these necessary updates often fall to the bottom of our to-do list or and can be hard to notice if you’ve been at your site for a long time. Clean signage frequently and promptly replace UV damaged or vandalized signage (ever heard of the broken windows theory?) Temporary signage (those printed onsite and changed frequently), should be clear, consistent, and use professionally branded templates. Download our temporary signage templates here. Provide staff and volunteers time to experience your site and programs as a visitor. Consider partnering with neighboring park teams for an exchange with helpful constructive feedback.
