OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — A new logo and tagline for the Elwha River Restoration project will be unveiled Tuesday, Nov. 16.
The logo will be presented during ceremonies between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center, 3002 Mount Angeles Road, Port Angeles.
The Elwha River Restoration project will include the largest dam removal to date in the nation.
It begins in 2011.
The 105-foot Elwha Dam that creates Lake Aldwell and the 201-foot Glines Canyon Dam that forms Lake Mills — were constructed without fish ladders, preventing salmon from migrating upstream to spawn.
Their removal, a project estimated to cost about $350 million, will restore the river to its natural free-flowing state.
The Elwha River Restoration logo will be available to organizations and businesses for licensed and approved use for promotional product development and websites.
“We invite the entire community to join us in celebrating and in using this new logo as we count down the months to the largest dam removal in U.S. history,” said Olympic National Park Superintendent Karen Gustin.
An overview of the project’s “approval and use” process will be presented at 5:30 p.m.
The new logo was designed by Port Angeles-based Laurel Black Design.
The tagline was developed by New Path Marketing in the Seattle suburb of Sammamish.
Discover Your Northwest and Friends of Olympic National Park will co-host the celebration.
