As a National Park Service Employee, this idea really struck me. I've been SO trained (Bachelor of Arts in Environmental studies and Geography and Urban Studies, Masters of Science in Resource Interpretation, 10 years working for a public lands agency) to look through the lens of place.

Place is so important in my world view, that it's become a blind spot- I take for granted the ability to read a landscape and make sense of it, so some extent. I often ask myself questions that might not occur to others looking through different lenses, for example "What histories are layered here?" or "Were those colonial looking houses REALLY from colonial times?" or a tree fell in a forest and there is a lot more light now, and you can see the under story going through ecological changes because more light is getting to the forest floor.

I forget that others have experiences/were trained to look through different (yet as valuable) lenses. I can't speak for other NPS employees or land managers, but I think this is pretty common- we care so much about place, but we forget that we need to create simple "on ramps" for others to enter with a place perspective.
