Description
Context This study assesses the impact of interpretation training on a river guide's client knowledge of and interest in the river environment. River guide interpretation training, in this instance, was through a Headwaters Institute (HWI) seminar. The Headwaters Institute is a nonprofit organization with a mission "to provide education that inspires individuals and communities to care for and connect with their watershed" (Hicks, 2006). The institute provides support to educators that host environmental education/ interpretation seminars across North America. These seminars are largely targeted towards whitewater raft guides, but fishing guides and environmental educators are also encouraged to be seminar participants. The two main objectives of a HWI seminar are (1) to educate and inform participants about the natural history and ecosystem in which they work and (2) to give them support to act as interpreters of this information. The ultimate intent is that they will then pass this information and ideally pass a better appreciation of the river environment on to their clients.
