Dear Damien
Thanks so much for sending these along. I'm glad to know that things are moving and that the graphics are now with the Tribe.

Cotati Creek Critters: I'm grateful to see the revised wording and the photo which gives a sense of before-and-after with volunteers at work. Thanks! If it's still possible to change anything, I'd suggest that the photo caption should be "Volunteers planting trees alongside the Laguna" as that is more specific and accurate, rather than just saying "working..." Sorry I had not spotted this earlier.
I still have the same comments about the following as I had earlier:
Downtown_Interp_FINAL_V4.pdf
Early history: I think the tule shelter would be more appropriate than the redwood shelter - will be interested to know what FIGR says!
Agrarian history: It's good to see the new wording about Cotati's agrarian/agricultural history. I think it would be good to find a graphic that refers to farming too, something to do with fruit or chickens for instance, especially as this could highlight the continuity with the modern day Falletti-Veronda ranch.
Laguna de Santa Rosa:
I'd still advocate for a different color scheme, not white on light green which I think will quickly become hard to see and hard to keep clean.
Otherwise, thank you and hoping all goes well with completing the signs.

Hi Jenny,
The attached interpretive sign panel graphics were sent to the Graton Tribe for their review, but I thought you’d want to see them also before we take them to Council in early September. They should be final or pretty close to it (depending on what the tribe says!).
I hope you have a great weekend,
