Exhibit Design, Public Outreach, and Education

There is a growing realization among environmental planners and developers that the results of cultural resource studies should be available to the general public. Far Western's design team is at the forefront in this area. Our talented staff has designed and produced numerous website modules, displays, installations, and booklets for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Army Corps of Engineers, the University of California, Davis, and California State Parks. Many examples of this work can be viewed on this web site—just click on "Additional Information for the General Public" on the left side of the screen.
