Interactive signs located throughout trails and boardwalks in a wetland interpret the natural and cultural history of the site. Wheels spin and reveal photos and information to educate the visitor on different species of creatures. Audio units play frogs or birdcalls. Another interprets the radio tower in the wetland and plays vintage radio broadcasts. Several have 'shadow box' features with three-dimensional objects such as skulls and bird eggs for viewing.
