One of the techniques park managers employ to protect natural features is to educate the public about their significance and fragility. If people understand and appreciate an area, whether it is a national monument or their own home, they will want to ensure its preservation.

Design a handout to be distributed to visitors at Craters of the Moon. You can focus on a particular area or feature (such as the caves or the Spatter Cones) or your information can be general and apply to the entire monument. Attempt to convince your readers that what they are seeing is special and that it is important that they protect it from harm. Describe activities that are potentially harmful and ways they can be avoided. Use photographs and/or illustrations. If you do really outstanding work, the National Park Service may display your handout at the monument!
