Abstract
This project was a collaboration of the Prairie Park Nature Center staff, the City of Lawrence, and the Environmental Studies Capstone students to create new signage that will be installed throughout the walking trails in this park. The current signage is outdated, worn, and therefore not being used effectively by those visiting the park. The new signage is focused on native animals and plants, ecological processes, and the history of the area. These signs were designed using the City of Lawrence color scheme, and each sign includes a QR code linked to an audio recording with a more detailed description of the assigned topic. By improving the signage layout, updating the information, and including an auditory element, accessibility for visitors of a wide age range and abilities is increased. This will lead to more visitors being able to enjoy the park while also improving the relationship they have with the natural world around them.
