LADY BIRD JOHNSON WILDFLOWER CENTER
Austin, Texas, 2008
In 1982 former First Lady Lady Bird Johnson and the actress Helen Hays founded an organization to protect and preserve North America's native plants and natural landscapes. Renamed the Lady Bird Wildlife Center in 1997, this special place exists to introduce people to the beauty and diversity of wildflowers and other native plants. In 2006 the Center became an Organized Research Unit of the University of Texas at Austin. Lord Cultural Resources was contracted by Xibitz to provide Interpretive Planning services for the exhibits located in the Visitor's Gallery. Our role included the facilitation of a Creative Workshop, Thematic Framework development, Interpretive Planning and Research Plan advice. The new exhibits in the Gallery explore three core concepts: Ecological Heritage, Ecological Sustainability and Ecological Citizenship.
