Upper columbia salmoin recovery board

In North Central Washington, snow is water, and rivers start on ridgetops.

Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Board needed a locally-specific representation that showed exactly how interconnected every aspect of their watershed is. It needed to be high-level enough to be visually compelling at tabletop size, and detailed enough to allow for more in-depth conversations with interested viewers.

Bantam led the charge, developing a detailed, elevation-based schematic of vegetation and landforms, directing illustration, and writing educational, persuasive copy for each zone.

In addition to use at various events, the Ridgetop 2 River graphics were repurposed by the Governor's Salmon Recovery Office website to educate viewers about whole-watershed efforts in the Upper Columbia region.
