As we discussed at the public meetings during the week of October
20, one of the next steps in the trail development process is to
identify sites’ infrastructure needs. Examples of infrastructure
include: planning, design, and construction of public restrooms,
parking areas or trails and boardwalks; writing, design and printing
of publications such as a site map or brochure; writing and production
of a new website, audio cassette or CD, or touch screen kiosk;
or writing, design, and fabrication of interpretive signs.
In some cases, needs are so great that sites were not even recommended
for inclusion in the trail until development is complete. In other
situations, sites can be safely used by visitors, but experiences
would be enhanced by the addition or upgrade of infrastructure.
We want to hear from you about what you see as important needs
for the site(s) you manage and/or nominated. Please use the form
below to respond. Return completed forms by mail or FAX to the
address on the form no later than January 2.
We will be assembling all of the needs and submitting them to
Louisiana Office of Tourism for use in preparing their annual funding
requests and special grant applications. It is the vision of the
Louisiana Office of Tourism, that no Parish will be excluded from
the trail simply because birding sites in their area are in need
of improvement for visitors. If you have any questions, please
email Mary Jeanne Packer at mjpacker@fermatainc.com or call 802-287-4284.
