Since 2019, the Reserve System’s education sector–which normally fulfills the interpretive task of designing and creating exhibits–has investigated the topic of exhibit design and evaluation by evaluating existing partner exhibits, sharing exhibit designs and contractors, and many other facets of exhibit creation. 

A 2021 transfer project supported the development and implementation of a new SWMP-related exhibit at the ACE Basin Reserve, transferable digital SWMP exhibit content, as well as the development of a toolkit for reserves to improve existing SWMP-related exhibits. The toolkit, called the SWMP Exhibit Guide, organizes and consolidates content from a combination of literature reviews, SWMP data interpretation, and interviews and exhibit evaluations at multiple reserves into a comprehensive package of resources that is accessible to all education coordinators and exhibit designers in the Reserve System.
