ODNR – East Fork State Park

Batavia, Ohio
Children are encouraged to climb onto a giant sculpted box turtle that greets them at the East Fork Nature Center. Visitors can cast a magnetic fishing line to reel in details on native fish species and explore exhibits that teach about wetlands and how to help pollinators. Swath Design collaborated with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources staff and park naturalists to define themes and objectives for exhibit components and ensure scientific accuracy and appropriate engagement. Swath developed the script, concept design, graphic layout, design documents, and comprehensive design development drawings for fabrication. New and existing components successfully meld to create a cohesive experience.
