Wings and Seeds — The Zaagkii Project

July 16th, 2010

There is a project I’ve been work­ing on lately that I’d like to share with you called Wings and Seeds — The Zaagkii Project. It is a native plant and pol­li­na­tor pro­tec­tion ini­tia­tive that began in 2008. It’s all about rec­og­niz­ing that pol­li­na­tion is an essen­tial eco­log­i­cal func­tion for our sur­vival, and then doing some­thing about it.

Brought to you by the Cedar Tree Insti­tute in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the Keweenaw Bay Indian Com­mu­nity and the United States For­est Ser­vice, this ini­tia­tive makes an inten­tional con­nec­tion between the restora­tion and heal­ing of the earth with the renewal of the human spirit.

If this strikes a chord with you, please get involved in any way you can.

This site was devel­oped specif­i­cally to uti­lize many of the new fea­tures that Word­Press 3.0 offers. Some of these fea­tures include swap­pable default header images, cus­tom header images for each page or post, mul­ti­ple wid­getized areas in the side bar as well as the footer, cus­tom styles for cer­tain cat­e­gories, and a cus­tomiz­able drop down nav­i­ga­tion menu.

I worked closely with the project lead­ers to develop an iden­tity for the site. I designed the logo, the cus­tom graph­ics, and chose the color scheme of white, gray, orange, and blue. I’d like to give a big thanks to Greg Peter­son for sup­ply­ing most of the con­tent for the site.
