The significance of self-guided interpretive trails in protected areas for the environmental education of visitors

Original language description

Th e aim of this article is to identify the level of environmental knowledge of visitors to interpretive trails. Specifi cally, this research investigates the factors that infl uence potential diff erences in the en-vironmental knowledge of visitors to interpretive trails and to the surrounding protected areas. Only some visitors to protected areas also visit interpretive trails. Th ey tend to be more environmentally con-scious and have higher levels of environmental knowledge than all visitors to protected areas. It should be noted that visitors who have more environmental knowledge are also those who have the greatest in-terest in the surrounding environment. It, therefore, follows that interpretive trails are visited by those with an interest in them, not by visitors to protected areas as a whole. Secondly, visiting interpretive trails contributes to visitors' knowledge, but this potential contribution has no eff ect on visitors who lack prior knowledge and are the intended targets
