Fort Owen State Park
Featuring over thirty unique pieces, the interpretive media at Fort Owen State Park immerses the visitor in the stories of the people who once lived in and around the trading post in the 1800s. Displays include original artwork by three different artists, historical images, historical artwork, and images of artifacts.
Bancroft Ponds Park Interpretive Trail
Visitors are invited to explore how the natural park and stormwater ponds of Bancroft Park provide habitat in the center of a busy city. Interpretive panels and custom artwork invite kids and families to look closely, practice naturalist skills, and consider stewardship behaviors that support neighborhood goals.
Glacial Lake Missoula Interpretation for the Ravalli County Museum
A series of interpretive panels outside the museum share information about the prehistoric Glacial Lake Missoula and flood events. Images of landscape clues encourage visitors to go explore the Bitterroot Valley to find evidence of the ancient lake. A map of the whole flood region identifies other landmarks along the floodwater path to the Pacific Ocean.
Osprey Interpretation at the Iris Cafe
The story of the connection between Osprey, the food web, and historic mining on the Clark Fork River is on display at the Iris Cafe in the Missoula College. Learn about the ecosystem that supports Osprey and research into the impacts of heavy metals from mining on the birds. You can also learn about Iris, the oldest documented Osprey who returned to a nest outside the college for more than two decades.
Naturalist Field Station: Drawn to Nature
The rotating exhibit at the Montana Natural History Center for much of 2019 and 2020 featured nature journal artwork by Jenah Mead. The exhibit was part of her Master’s Degree portfolio, showcasing her work in observing and documenting urban nature paired with her research into and experience in outdoor education.
Harriman State Park Bridge Dedication
An old bridge was removed and a new, pedestrian/horse/bike bridge took its place. To celebrate the work of the Friends of Harriman State Park and their partners, one of the historic bridge piers became a unique interpretive display. The park had an idea for the design of an interpretive panel and dedication plaque. Field to Frame worked with them to bring their ideas to reality by helping manage project details and communication.
