With the Metropolitan Park Board's plans in place by to make Cleveland's park grounds accessible, the challenges of promoting the conservation of park resources to the public fell on the Park Police and museum staff. Educational programming offered by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History attempted to convey meaning and a sense of value to the public grounds. In this pursuit, the Park Naturalist regularly gave illustrated lectures at schools, churches and nature clubs throughout the 1930s. One point regularly impressed upon audiences was that the park grounds were a preserve for all visitors to enjoy, and that wild flowers, trees and rocks should not be removed from the parks or defaced. | Source: Courtesy of Cleveland MetroparksDownload Original File
