The PNW Tree ID project builds off the interpretive-sign tradition of identifying trees in situ as educational program for trail users. The series specifically focuses on native tree species found in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

The graphic design of the mixed-media signs (recycled oak flooring, india ink, acrylic paint, and lasers) are intended to tell botanical tales that are ancient, unfolding, complex, and even speculative in nature.
