Educational and Eye-Catching Interpretive Signage for Nature Preservation
Green Goat Maps collaborated with Champlain Area Trails (CATS) to design and produce an interpretive sign focused on the unique ecology of the Essex Quarry Nature Preserve. This project aimed to combine educational content with visually engaging design to captivate visitors and foster a deeper understanding of the natural habitat.
To meet the needs of Champlain Area Trails and the visitors of Essex Quarry Nature Preserve, Green Goat Maps was contracted to:
Research and develop content showcasing the ecology of frogs and their habitats within the quarry pond.
Design an interpretive panel featuring engaging illustrations and informative text, aligned with existing signage styles.
Ensure the final design integrates seamlessly with the preserve’s educational mission and visual identity.
Coordinate the production of a weather-resistant kiosk panel using durable materials for outdoor installation.
Green Goat Maps delivered a meticulously designed interpretive panel that showcases the habitat and ecology of frogs living in the Essex Quarry pond. The design incorporates vivid illustrations, detailed descriptions of frog species, and contextual information about the surrounding environment. The panel, produced on vinyl-wrapped Di-Bond material, ensures durability and long-term use while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Challenges of This Project
The primary challenge was to create an interpretive panel that was both scientifically accurate and engaging for diverse audiences, including families and children. Balancing the density of ecological information with a visually clean design required close collaboration and multiple design iterations. Additionally, aligning the panel with the preserve’s existing signage style was essential to maintain consistency across the site.
