Even to the Cooks. An Experiment in Accessibility Wilderness Graphics is pleased to participate in a special project at Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge in Tennessee. This unique program to research and develop accessible fishing facilities supports universal design solutions for practical testing and evaluation. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, its partners, and people with and without disabilities have worked together to develop facilities on Oneal Lake. In addition to sign panels on public use opportunities, visitors can select information from a multi-button menu of options for audio messages at an information kiosk.
Solar power recharges a battery-operated digital message system.
Tactile maps help provide orientation. Some of the interpretive features of Project Fish at Hatchie Refuge include duplication of communication media, tactile maps and models, shelters and benches, audio messages, and tactile interpretive message stations. The CD-ROM will work on both Mac and IBM compatible platforms and contains a wealth of information on Florida manatees. Users can select from a number of manatee topics or fun manatee games. This is the most entertaining interactive computer program Wilderness Graphics has produced to date.
