Management Of Whyalla Conservation Park
3.6 Environmental Interpretation And Education

Pre-visit, directional, interpretive and enforcement information are a necessary part of Park management. The Friends Group has produced a Park brochure. Information signs are located at the Park entrance and there is an interpretive walking trail at Wild Dog Hill. Various other signs are also in place.

Provision of information about the area such as history and ecology is likely to increase visitor appreciation which in turn affects behaviour in the Park.

Signs need to be informative but should be compatible with the Park landscape.

Objective

• Encourage public enjoyment and further public awareness and appreciation of the purpose and significance of the Conservation Park by the provision of a coordinated program of information and interpretation.

Strategies

• Develop a plan for the provision of information and environmental interpretation for Whyalla Conservation Park.
• Increase off-site, local and regional public awareness and appreciation of the values of Whyalla Conservation Park.
