Brief Description of Scope of Work: The selected firm will be responsible for providing comprehensive design services for the construction of a new Nature Exploration Area (NEA) at the Wilderness Park owned by and adjacent to the Chino Basin Water Conservation District.

The design will include fencing, shaded seating, opportunities to build and climb and should use repurposed materials whenever possible.
