The project
Look closer.
Explore with care.
These Cleveland National Forest panels connect species interpretation with practical visitor guidance. One introduces birds of prey and the importance of nesting habitat; the other brings attention to Parish’s Meadowfoam and the seasonal meadow environments featured in the artwork.
Large wildlife and flower photographs provide an immediate point of connection. A life-cycle diagram makes seasonal change visible, while clear warnings and concise visitor messages turn information into guidance for exploring with care.
From curiosity to stewardship.
Deep green headings, warm neutral fields, and organic dark borders connect the two designs. Distinctive imagery and color accents give each subject its own character, with consistent Forest Service footer elements anchoring the series.
02 / UNDERSTAND
Explain what changes.
The meadowfoam life-cycle diagram organizes seasonal growth into a clear visual sequence.
03 / CARE
Give visitors a next step.
Prominent guidance about nest disturbance, posted closures, and designated trails connects interpretation with responsible recreation.
