The Partnership's Plan - Lake District National Park The Partnership's Plan - Lake District National Park
Interpretation is more than information. Understanding the Park is the key to appreciating its beauty and fragility and its need for conservation and protection. Interpretation encourages an awareness of the special qualities of the National Park. To be effective it must be entertaining and stimulating. The potential to benefit from interpretation can depend on the previous experiences of the user. It is important to use a variety of media and to provide behavioural and emotional learning outcomes. In this way the National Park can become more inclusive with growing awareness and appreciation of the area. The Lake District has the potential to be at the forefront of new multimedia interpretation techniques. 3.6.4 Key partners Cumbria Tourism, National Park Authority, Environment Agency, National Trust, Cumbria County Council, Field Studies Council, Outdoor Study Centres, Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. 3.7 Strategic activities Six strategic activities have been developed under this outcome of the Vision: World class visitor experience 7.
