Book synopsis

The stories we tell are important because they can§change how we act in the world. Park interpreters§are professional storytellers and their stories§influence how visitors interact with the place they§are visiting. If done well, researchers agree that§interpretation, or "Heritage Appreciation," can§foster the development of ecological citizenship. In§the summer of 2003, a study was undertaken at§Dinosaur Provincial Park to explore the perceived§ability of existing programming to promote ecological§citizenship. Follwoing a series of in-depth§interviews with key stakeholders, it became apparent§that the promotion of ecolocial citizenship was§challenged by a lack of information conducive to§integrating natural and cultural history into park§naratives. It was determined that the incorporation§of environmental history narratives into park§programming could improve the ability of interpreitve§programming in Dinosaur Provincial Park to promote§ecological citizenship. Environmental history§narratives integrate nature and culture and explore§how people have influenced the land and how the land§has influenced people throughout time.
