Interpretive Planning & Strategy

We engage with your team and community from the very beginning to understand your site, audience, context, and the deeper purpose of your project. This shared understanding guides our interpretive strategy to fit your unique needs.

Interpretive Planning

Not sure where to begin? We love getting involved early to help shape a clear, cohesive vision for your project.

 

Our interpretive plans are comprehensive guides that offer direction on spatial layout, wayfinding strategy, interpretive themes, visual identity, fabrication, mounting, and more — everything you need to ensure your space feels connected, engaging, and built to last.

Project Management

We keep projects moving smoothly from start to finish so you can feel confident your work is on track. From sourcing fabricators to overseeing installation, we lead projects from sketch to site, making sure all the pieces come together just as you expect them. This can include:

​

  • Access to a trusted network of fabricators.

  • Coordination of project timelines.

  • Installation permitting support.

  • Subcontractor coordination.

  • Fabrication oversight.

Community Consultation

We love connecting with the people who hold your site’s stories closest — subject matter experts, community groups, families, and local governments   to name a few.

​

Working with your team, we bring the right voices into the project early to discover meaningful stories.          We coordinate community consultation sessions    to ensures our interpretation truly reflects local voices and lived experiences.

Interpretive Research & Writing

Our experienced team of writers and storytellers bring backgrounds in science and research, allowing us to translate complex multitudes of information into clear engaging interpretive stories.

For sites with existing signage or interpretive materials in need of a refresh, we work with you to identify what’s working well and where there are opportunities to update and modernize.

​

There are often creative ways to revitalize a site without starting from scratch. Small, thoughtful additions can go a long way and save time, budget, and effort while still making a big impact.

Walking with Gratitude and Intent

At Fenwood Creative, our work is rooted in place. We share stories of the land across Turtle Island (North America). We honour the deep knowledge and enduring relationships that Indigenous communities hold with the land, water, and all living things. Their stories are inseparable from the places we interpret, and we are committed to uplifting Indigenous voices and centering them in our work. 

​

We are grateful to live, work, play, and raise our families on Treaty 6 Territory (the traditional and current lands of the Cree, Saultaux, Nakota, Sioux, and Dene), the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4, and the unceded traditional territory of the Ktunaxa Nation. We commit to listening, learning, and walking alongside Indigenous Peoples with respect and humility.
