Interpretive Nature Trails/Native SpeciesSea Wolf participants will be afforded the unique experience of assisting in the development of interpretive nature trails.
The trails will be designed to maximize the exposure of the bio-diversity that exists at the site selected.
Existing mature hardwoods, understory shrubs, and lower zone plants such as mosses and ferns will all be identified, locations plotted on appropriate maps and catalogued for future “signage” development. 
Transition zones will be mapped and specie specific identifications will be preformed as part of the plant inventory to be included in the Nature Trail proposed.
Edge vegetation consisting of wild flower, low growing herbaceous plants, and seed producing forbes will also be inventoried.
Plants specific to wetlands will be identified and included in the proposed trail system to emphasize and illustrate the bio-diversity of the area to be included in the interpretive trail walk.
Designs for the trails will be developed that will focus on the various plants identified in the specific ecosystems inventoried and trails will be constructed to minimize human impact on species within an ecosystem.
Campers will be actively engaged in developing signage to be placed appropriately along a trail system. Internet access will be available for developing signage and a trail guide to enhance the visitor’s ability to implement a self-guided tour.
Photography, aerial photos, topographic mapping skills, and GPS technology will be introduced. Significant progress will be accomplished during the three-week Sea Wolf camp, with the understanding that other motivated stewards of our resources will follow to enhance the work already completed.
