Care for the Rare Sign Library


 

Care for the Rare has been designed as a growing resource for public gardens to use for interpretation of threatened species and conservation issues.

Please keep us in the loop! If your garden develops signs using these templates please contact us. We can assist with the process, and would be thrilled to receive your finished Word documents for review and addition to the Sign Library.

Species Signs

All signs below have been developed by Care for the Rare collaborators, and have been reviewed for content and design. The signs are printable on 8.5x11 paper. Refer to our sign creation instructions for help on how to insert your garden's logo or customize the content. *Tip: save customized sign files as PDF’s for best results when printing.
