These large interpretive signs were designed to help explain and engage visitors in a revegetation project along the White Salmon River, near the site of the former Condit Dam. Working in collaboration with a biologist for the Yakama Nation Fisheries, I designed and illustrated two comprehensive layouts detailing the cultural and environmental significance of the site.

Natural & cultural resources sign layout, explaining the significance of the site to the Yakama people. Includes an interpretation of a "seasonal round," showing some of the native plants planted in the revegetation area, as well as native fish and cultural tools.
