Watershed Agricultural Council Case Study – Event Table Top Display Boards

 

Creating a Flexible Leaf Identification Display for Forestry Events

 

When the Watershed Agricultural Council began planning a stall for a local event, the team needed a practical and professional way to display information to visitors. Based in Walton, New York, the organisation works with farm and forest landowners across the New York City Watershed region to help protect water quality for millions of residents.

 

As part of its forestry outreach work, the team wanted to create a leaf identification display that could be adapted for different events and regions. This meant finding display boards that were lightweight and easy to transport, while providing a surface that would allow information and leaf examples to be changed quickly whenever needed.

 

After discovering Go Displays online, Heather Hilson, Forestry Program Outreach Specialist at the Watershed Agricultural Council, contacted our team to discuss the available options. Despite being based in the United States, Heather was able to arrange her order directly with Maddie at Go Displays, finding a suitable display solution for the organisation's requirements.

 

The chosen product was our Event table top display boards, which offered the flexibility, portability and fabric finish needed to bring the leaf identification display to life.

 

 

Choosing the Right Table Top Display Boards

 

Selecting the right display boards was important for the Watershed Agricultural Council. The team needed more than a conventional presentation board; it required a reusable display that could support interactive educational content and be adapted for different locations and events.

 

The Event table top display boards were a particularly good fit because their fabric panels are compatible with hook-and-loop fastenings, commonly known as Velcro. This allowed the team to attach leaf examples and other information to the display and remove or replace them as required.

 

For an organisation working across different regions, this flexibility was a key advantage. Rather than creating an entirely new display for every event, the team could change the content to suit the location, audience or educational topic.

 

The table top format also provided a convenient way to present information at a stall, helping create a clear, organised display that visitors could easily view while speaking with the team.

 

 

 

A Customisable Display with a Practical Fabric Finish

 

One of the main reasons Heather selected the Event table top display boards was the availability of green fabric, which closely matched the Watershed Agricultural Council's logo.

 

Choosing a colour that complemented the organisation's branding helped create a cohesive and professional appearance. The green fabric was also well suited to the forestry and environmental themes of the leaf identification display.

 

The Velcro-friendly surface was equally important. The team had already developed the idea of displaying different leaves for different events and regions, so being able to attach and remove individual items was essential.

 

This made the boards a versatile solution for presenting changing information without having to replace the entire display. The same boards could be reused at future events, with the content adapted to reflect the leaves, species and educational information relevant to each location.

 

For organisations that regularly attend exhibitions, community events, educational sessions or outreach activities, this type of reusable display can offer a practical way to keep information current while maintaining a consistent visual identity.

 

 

International Delivery from the UK to the USA

 

Although the Watershed Agricultural Council is based in Walton, New York, the team was able to order its display boards directly from Go Displays in the UK.

 

Heather initially discovered Go Displays through an online search. As international shipping was not available through the website at the time, she contacted Maddie by telephone to discuss the order and arrange delivery.

 

The process proved straightforward, allowing the team to place its order without unnecessary complications. Heather was particularly pleased with how quickly the display boards arrived, receiving them less than a week after placing the order.

 

On arrival, the boards met her expectations in terms of both quality and the product information provided online.

 

Heather explained:

 

“As we are based in the US, I was impressed at how easy it was to have the display boards exported to us. After working with Go Displays, I was happy to see our display boards less than a week after placing the order. When they arrived, I was impressed by the quality of the display boards and they matched what I had read on their website.”

 

The experience demonstrated how clear communication and a straightforward ordering process can help customers source suitable display products internationally.

 

 

 

Lightweight and Portable for Events and Outreach Work

 

For the Watershed Agricultural Council, portability was another important consideration. As the organisation attends events in different locations, the display boards needed to be convenient to transport and straightforward to set up when required.

 

The lightweight Event table top display boards offered a practical solution, while the included fabric carry bag made it easier to keep the components together during transport and storage.

 

This combination allowed the team to take its display to different venues without needing a bulky or complicated setup. The portable design also made the boards suitable for repeated use, helping the organisation get more value from its investment.

 

For businesses, charities, educational organisations and community groups that attend events regularly, portable table top display boards can provide a convenient way to share information wherever it is needed.

 

 

A Successful Display Solution for the Watershed Agricultural Council

 

The Event table top display boards provided the Watershed Agricultural Council with a flexible and professional way to present its leaf identification display.

 

The green fabric complemented the organisation's branding, while the Velcro-friendly surface allowed the team to switch between different leaves and information for different events and regions. Their lightweight construction and included carry bag also made transporting the display more convenient.

 

Combined with the straightforward ordering process, fast delivery and product quality, the boards met the organisation's requirements and offered a reusable solution for its ongoing outreach work.

 

Heather was particularly positive about the overall experience with Go Displays:

 

“Overall, I would definitely recommend Go Displays to somebody else. The quality of the display boards, fast shipping and variety of colours on offer are ideal and personally I like to work with family-run businesses. We are definitely going to be placing more orders with Go Displays in the future.”

 

The feedback highlights the value of choosing display boards that are not only attractive and professional, but also adaptable to the changing needs of an organisation.
