NO MO Foundation: A natural repellent to prevent malaria and other mosquito-borne illnesses

A new site & brand for Greenways Trust, a conservancy organization on Vancouver Island. http://www.greenwaystrust.ca/ Loved making the layered mountainscapes and stream iconography, and seeing the great work that these folks do in their community. Especially impressed with how they engage retired fishermen in rehabilitating salmon runs in this boom-bust fishing and logging town. A unique…
