~Interpretation Chapter Department Operations Manual
From Donna Pozzi - Chief of Interpretation - I am pleased to report that the new Department Operations Manual Chapter 0900, Interpretation and Education, has been finalized and approved. Many of you, as well as your staff, reviewed and commented on this chapter during its development. We also plan on making it available on the department Web site because we know it will be of interest to our many partners and colleagues outside of California State Parks. I wanted to call your attention to some new and newly-revised policies in the chapter. I hope you will peruse the following sections of the chapter as our division feels these are significant issues with which you should be familiar:

  • Interpretation Training (0900.3.7)
  • Planning for Interpretation (0902)
  • Parks Online Resources for Teachers and Students (PORTS) (0904.6.16.3.1)
  • Use of Live Animals (native and domestic) (0904.8)
  • Intellectual Property (0907), Department Name (0907.7) and the Department Logo (0907.8)
  • Volunteers in Parks Program (0908.3), Camp and Park Host Program (0908.3.6)
  • Sales of Materials and Services (0909)

Thank you, and please feel free to get back to me at (916) 653-4643 or dpozz@parks.ca.gov with any questions. And here is the link to the actual document. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=25529
