Heritage Interpretation Training Center Interpretive Planning Courses There's no question that every park, nature center, historic site, world heritage site, zoo or botanical garden who currently does not have an interpretive master plan for their site, would benefit from having one. Interpretive plans serve as marketing tools, audience development tools, writing for grants and related funding and general long-range development phasing. If you contract with a consultant or landscape architect to do an interpretive plan for you the costs usually start at around $8000.00 and goes up. Or ---- you can learn to do one yourself and save a lot of money and learn an important personal development and "marketable" skill.
