Interpretive trail signs being produced

Right now I'm working on a project for the Creeper Trail Club. We received a grant from DCR to do a number of trail improvements, including the benches/kiosks and the new trail maps. The final element is to design and produce a series of signs along the trail to interpret the natural and historical features for trail users. I inherited the project after much work had already been done by others. The text for the signs has been written by Ed Davis and Ed Morgan, authors of The Virginia Creeper Trail Companion. I'm serving as the project manager, mostly by gathering images to go with the text and working with a local graphic designer, Holly Horton, to make them look spectacular. The signs themselves will be produced by Pannier, who also did the trail maps that look so nice. We should be ready to send them off for manufacturing in the next month. If the weather holds, the trail maintenance crew and I will be installing them sometime after the first of the year.
