Recent Work: Environmental Documentation
Shenandoah Valley Farm
Earlier in the year I volunteered to write and design an informational brochure (embedded below) for the Shenandoah Valley’s Resource Conservation and Development Council (Shenandoah RC&D).
This lead to an interesting three year contract to organize and collect written materials for the “flex fencing stream exclusion” watershed program. The program provides financial assistance to farmers willing to erect fencing to keep animals from polluting the watershed. The fencing is typically accompanied by erosion-prevention planting techniques, too.
The program is privately funded through the Chesapeake Bay Funders Network.
From a content management standpoint the flex fencing project demands keeping track of, and documenting, numerous pieces of varied content (written materials – such as contracts and transcribed farmer interviews – to digital content, such as before/after photos).
Content is pretty essential when you think about its role securing funding for a non-profit. The content collected and managed tells the story of what’s been accomplished.
