In order to fulfill their mission, the Lyon Arboretum utilizes interpretive learning to educate their visitors on conservation, ecology, and Hawaiian culture. The goal of this project was to create an interpretive resource that would best fit the Arboretum's needs. Our team developed a digital, educational brochure with interactive features and content focusing on history, plant information, wildlife, and various attractions at the Arboretum. To do this, we researched existing interpretive material and interviewed staff and visitors to determine the contents of the brochure. After creating our brochure, we conducted a beta test with 25 visitors to receive feedback and also consulted with staff from the Arboretum. We revised our brochure based on feedback from both visitors and staff.
