Interpretive Panels Exhibit at Cape Disappointment
March 1, 2010
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is seeking public comment through March 31 on the new "Gaia in Your Backyard" interpretive panels on display at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center located in Cape Disappointment State Park near Ilwaco.
Once finalized, the panels will be placed along an interpretive trail connecting the five Confluence Project artworks located at Cape Disappointment State Park. "The panels will balance the historical themes of the Confluence artwork by providing insight into the unique ecology of Cape Disappointment's fog forest.", said Aaron Webster, interpretive specialist for the center. Three-dimensional models and photographs of the Confluence Project also are on display to help visitors understand the context of the interpretive panels.
