Mohonk Preserve in the Shawangunk Mountains near New Paltz, New York, US, is marking its 50th anniversary this year with a renovation of its green design award-winning visitor centre.

Electrosonic was charged with creating several new exhibits for the main floor, which enable visitors to maximise their time in New York's largest non-profit nature preserve.

With over 8,000 acres of mountain ridges, fields, streams, ponds and other unique and beautiful places, Mohonk Preserve is dedicated to protecting the Shawangunk Mountains by inspiring people to care for, enjoy and explore the natural world.

The visitor centre is a stone and wood structure set on over 40 acres including the J&S Grafton Sensory Trail, LaVerne Thompson Nature Trail and Children's Forest.

The main floor is an open room with an area for membership and visitor information.  

Large windows in the back overlook the preserve providing the backdrop for a three-dimensional topographical map that gives bird's-eye views of trails and major points of interest.

Electrosonic added four 32-inch ELO interactive touchscreens to the map. Visitors can access details and photos about the trails and attractions via the touchscreens with content created by the preserve in collaboration with Richard Lewis Media Group.
