Park Brochures

Mission

Park brochures by the people for the people.

People’s Park Brochures works to democratize and popularize the craft of interpreting public parks by promoting and supporting the creation, dissemination, and appreciation of people’s park brochures.

Vision

There’s a little wooden box at a trailhead. It holds the park agency’s official brochures and glossy maps.

Imagine a different box, stuffed with an eclectic mix of DIY brochures made by regular park visitors for one another.

The vision of People’s Park Brochures is a world where the people are empowered to tell the stories of their parks.

Values

Share the Stories

of people and environments
of living and non-living things
with uninhibited creativity
through a joyful exchange of self-published park brochures

Resist Hierarchies and Divisions

between the people’s interpretations of parks and the narratives of park agencies or other authorities
between the professional and the casual

Do-No-Harm

to places
to communities
to webs of life
