BACKGROUND

Since 1950, the National Park Service has been entrusted with the care of Oasis of Mara, Joshua Tree National Park. With the help of volunteers and partners, they safeguard these historical places and share their stories with more than 318 million visitors every year. National Parks have always been a source of knowledge. However, with the changing times, in order to stay relevant, there is a pressing need for interpretive exhibits to engage their visitors in new and visually appealing ways.
