Trail Maps

Natural Lands:
map design & signage

Natural Lands is one of the largest conservation organizations in the country. With over 20 nature preserves open to the public, they require trail maps and signage that are clean and easy to read. Working with the design team, I’ve created a consistent visual style for preserve maps, implementing a color-coded wayfinding system for hiking trails. I also design outdoor signs installed throughout the preserves, and trail guides for print and mobile use. Start exploring!
