Public Education
Considerable effort is expended to promote the District's attractions through various channels. Tours of the Portia Marsh Interpretive Center are conducted regularly and many casual visitors come to this site. Other sites to which tours and many casual visitors come include the Bacon Ridge complex. The Bluff Creek Nature Trail, the Lady Slipper Viewing Site, Jackpine Ridge Wayside Park, and the special interest to aboriginal groups is the Thunderbird Nest Site, Tobacco Rock Site, and the site of the aboriginal petroform called the Medicine Wheel, which lies within the Alonsa PFRA Pasture. Singnage at all these sites makes them self-guiding and educational. Perhaps one of the most novel of these projects is the restoration of the Bluff Creek Church, which now forms part of the attraction of the Bluff Creek Nature Trail.
