Research on Design Strategies for Nature Education Trails Infused with Local Context
Nature education trails,established to provide nature education,have become significant carriers for conducting public environ-mental education.Nonetheless,they confront issues such as the homogenization of educational content,inadequate excavation of local culture,and mismatch with local demands.Through a localized extraction,interpretation,and transformation of re-sources,we summarize a design model for the locality of nature education trails.This study reviews the localized development status of Nature Education Trails in Guangdong Province at a regional level.It uses the nature education trail at Shenzhen OCT National Wetland Park as a specific case study to analyze its localized translation of resources.Ultimately,the strategies for de-signing nature education trails are summarized from four aspects:localized focus on natural resources,localized expression of humanistic elements,localized development of courses and activities,and localized cultivation of nature instructors.The aim is to offer new perspectives and practical guidance for developing nature education trails sustainably.
