The Center for Land Use
Interpretation Field Unit
Takes the Show on the Road
The Center for Land Use Interpretation's Field Unit
travelled to sites in the Southwest this Fall. The unit is an
Airstream trailer that has been outfitted with informational displays,
and stocked with CLUI publications. In addition to bringing The
Center to gatherings and communities, the unit serves as an office
for CLUI representatives conducting research in remote locations.
Equipped with all the amenities of a
self-contained recreational vehicle, the unit is a live-in
office, enabling CLUI researchers to spend longer amounts
of time in the field.

In display mode the Field Unit represents
The Center and is open to the public during gatherings and
events, such as seen here on the playa of the Black Rock
Desert in Nevada, during the annual Burning Man event, which
this year was attended by 10,000 people.

This mobile interpretation station converts
into a public display facility, with photographs and text
panels. The current display describes The Center and its
various activities.

The Field Unit will hit the road again this spring, and
will serve The Center as a field office for research into
Los Angeles' environs, being conducted for an upcomming
exhibit called HinterLAnd..
