For over 25 years JVA has been a leader in providing state of the art Interpretive
Planning training and services.
From teaching university courses on Interpretive Planning (The Ohio State
University and Michigan State University) to providing contract services in developing
interpretive plans for clients, to teaching interpretive planning workshops and courses -
world wide - JVA leads in developing new and innovative interpretive planning strategies.
John Veverka's new text book "Interpretive Master
Planning", is based on years of experience "doing" interpretive plans for a
wide range of organizations and agencies, from parks, to museums to zoos.
