Invite the viewer to take a closer look or consider a different perspective. Explain your organization’s efforts to protect, conserve or restore natural habitat. Foster a love for nature and cultivate future environmental stewards.
Cultural Heritage Interpretation
Share stories and experiences of those who lived and worked the land before us. Show what life, tools, structures, and the landscape looked like long ago. LVB works with local historians and archival material to make meaningful connections between the past and the present. Let the people and land past speak again through cultural heritage interpretive storytelling.
Nature Trails Interpretive Signage
LVB helps clients develop themes for each interpretive display panel, focusing on one primary learning objective, from local plant life and wildlife to the connecting between water, geology and the landforms. LVB’s academic and professional backgrounds in watershed sciences, landscape architecture and restoration ecology allows her to bring a depth of knowledge and insight to this subject matter.
River Trails and Overlook Signage
Use viewsheds and points of interest along your river or recreational corridor to provide moments to pause and learn about the resource. How has man shaped and changed our rivers and landscape in the name of progress, for mill-power, agriculture, and urban development? Showcase efforts to restore river corridors for both fish and people.
Watershed Education Interpretive Signage
Help the public understand and appreciate the value of the natural resources of their watershed. Show the connection between water quality issues in a downstream water body to upstream practices on land, and efforts to restore and improve river, lake and watershed health. Delineate the clear boundaries defining your watershed and showcase the natural and cultural features within. Invite your audience to learn more and get involved.
Park Dedication Signage
Celebrate project champions and heroes behind parkland protection, habitat conservation, recreational easements, and open space access. Share their vision turned reality, the major milestones and collaborative partnerships along the way, and inspire a whole new generation of environmental stewards.
Inspire, delight and inform your audience through beautiful visual storytelling.
