Focus on interactive presentation.
Two signs of interpretation were uncovered

There are also four signs in the project.

"There are a lot of signs on the Wild Pacific Trail for adults, and we want to give kids something special, just for them.
We hope that adults will learn something as well.
"The new exhibition is partially paid by a $2,500 grant from the Clayoquot Trust in April 2012, of which $500 comes from Vancouver --
Based on the Decoda literacy solution.
Rebecca hervitz, managing director of the trust fund, attended the event and watched the unveiling of the educational experience.
"It's really exciting because there are no other explanatory signs specifically for children in an outdoor setting in the area, which is a great way to attract families," she said . ".
"What the CBT really focuses on is the most comprehensive education, so it's an opportunity to teach people about the natural environment and really connect youth with where they live through appreciation and understanding.
Oyster Jim Martin, the innovator and manager of Trail, said the new presentation will provide educational value for the children's experience on the trail.
"They have signs of interaction that they can not only operate on their own, but also learn from the natural environment around the West Coast. . .
It was a great experience for everyone and we are very grateful to the CBT for supporting us in this effort, "Martin said.
