New Teton County Weed & Pest District's Logo
Teton County Weed & Pest District has had their logo for 5 years now and they were looking to a reboot their branding approach. Keeping their mark recognizable was important to them and maintaining the acronym TCWP was important. They were open to a new modern approach. Since the public were starting to relate TCWP's brand it was imperative to subtly evolve the brand rather than make a radical change.

Protecting our Waterways in Jackson Hole
Living in Jackson, it can be easy to take for granted the immense natural beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis-from the towering Tetons raising above our valley floor to the seemingly pristine waterways that meander through our collection of small towns. We all have a role to play to help maintain and increase the vitality of our surrounding rivers and streams.
Maintenance: Equipment Calibration
Recommended application rates of commonly used herbicides can at times be difficult to understand. In the product label, most herbicide manufacturer’s state recommended rates for target species in “ounces per acre” language. For most weekend weed warriors, these instructions can be confusing when trying to mix concentrated herbicide with water to eliminate the noxious weed of choice. Through the calibration of your sprayer, this process is simplified
Morel Mushroom Season Etiquette
Ahh.. it's May in the Tetons and the fungi are popping up everywhere. A particularly popular fungi are called Morels, they look like brains on a stem - a little crazy looking. Delicious if you like mushrooms, especially good on steaks, pasta or just stuffed.
