What is natural history interpretation? Why is it important for
naturalists? Learn about the art of interpretation and how you can
incorporate it in your programs. Tips, techniques, resources and challenges
will be discussed. Interpretation has changed in recent times with social
media and in-person to virtual programs, so how do we adapt?
Our speaker, Joy Primrose, enjoys engaging with visitors in informal
place-based learning from leading guided estuary walks, whale watching, and
tabling events to presenting campground programs and other presentations.
She became a Certified Marine Naturalist through The Whale Museum in August
2010 and a Certified Interpretive Guide (CIG) through the National
Association of Interpretation in December 2015. She has participated in
Oregon State Parks Whale Watching Spoken Here program since March 2005, and
as a volunteer interpreter at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine
Science Visitor Center since 2014. She was also a volunteer interpreter at
the Oregon Coast Aquarium from 2007-2015. Joy is currently President of the
American Cetacean Society-Oregon Chapter and an American Cetacean Society
National Board Director.
