recent
work: interpretive signage
Design
and illustration of new interpretive signage for Land
Conservancy of West Michigan's Maas
Family Nature Preserve,
located in Rockford, Michigan.
This preserve is especially lovely in May when it is thickly
carpeted with wild lupine (Lupinus perennis).
Not only beautiful, wild lupine is the exclusive food source
for the larval stage of the
Karner Blue Butterfly (Lycaeides melissa
samuelis),
a federally listed endangered species which has been observed
at the preserve.
Focus
is also
given to
the
problems
the
site has with invasive spotted knapweed and the importance
of prescribed burns in maintaining habitat at the preserve. |
