A colorful Look at the Big Wood River

This Big Wood River ecosystem coloring page highlights the species and systems that make up the river—from native fish and aquatic insects to the vegetation that supports them.
It’s part of our broader work at Project Big Wood around Youth Stewardship, but the intent is simple: build familiarity. However, people engage with the river; that’s a good place to start. Over time, familiarity turns into awareness—and that’s where stewardship begins.
These pages are starting to show up in classrooms and a few spots around the valley. Keep an eye out.
And no, they’re not just for kids. Slowing down and spending time with the details—coloring, noticing, learning—has its place, no matter your age.
If you’re a teacher, parent, or just looking for a different way to spend a little time with the Big Wood, the pages are available to download and use.
Designed by local artist Maddy Morton, who brought the Big Wood River ecosystem to life on paper.
