III. Colorado Wetlands Brochure and Slide Show Kate Jones of the Executive Director's Office of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources has been assigned the production of both the brochure and slide show. During October - December 1992, she gathered information on wetlands from a variety of sources and began locating sources of slides and images that can be used in both the slide show and brochure. The brochure and slide show will be designed as companion pieces. A preliminary outline for both products will be presented to the Wetlands Resource Group on February 1. Both a designer and illustrator have been selected for the brochure. It will be written for an eighth -grade reading level, and its goal will be to present wetlands information in an easily accessible and attractive format for the general public. Both the slide show and the brochure will be produced in time for the wetlands workshops described above. Iv.
