Today, Chris Cassidy volunteered his time and creativity to do the layout and map design for the tour booklet. This is a huge gift and will enable us to print more copies of the guide than we expected with the award from the Awesome Foundation. Nita Sembrowich has volunteered her skills as a copy editor and Elena Saporta has offered to write the page on roots and soil community--the often unnoticed living environment of the tree. Thank you all so much!
We want to be sure this tour STANDS OUT! P eople stop seeing things that are there all the time. That is half the problem in general: people may not even see the trees because they are always there. So we are thinking up a ways to draw attention to the labels--having "name tags" and codes for scanning on small signs that can come and go in front of particular trees etc. We also want to add an audio portion, and of course, find out what is involved in making an app. We still feel that an actual booklet is valuable, and it would be nice to go digital, too.
We are also looking forward to presenting our project briefly at the Awesome Foundation Summit this Sunday.
