I'm liking the way these things could make access a lot easier to nature for those of us that live on our phones.Have a gander at this then...

People from all over the world are sending emails to Melbourne's trees
Read the weird, funny and philosophical emails that people are sending to Melbourne's trees.www.abc.net.au
This is really interesting! I think I’m going to get some to play with.I bought a strip of them a few years ago about 25mm disks with an adhesive back I think they run at about 40p each.
If you download NFC Tool for Android you'll see what you can do with them but the brief list is:
Text, URL, Social Network links (URLs again), Create a prefilled E-mail, Add contact details, Add Location Details, Add Wifi Details.
They can be really tiny but then you've got the balance of visibility if you want people to use them or discretion if you want them to not be found. Next time you walk past a bus stop in a town, have a look as to where and what size the NFC tag is they usually have one for the ad company.
Might be a fun compass training aid.
If each tag had instructions to turn x degrees left/right, and walk y meters. Would mean have to discover all the tags in the correct order to get to the final destination.
I like the sound of the info about the tree etc, you could combine it with a small QR code for people who have phones without NFC. I spent a fair bit of time stood under/patrolling a stretch of road in Sheffield to stop amey/scc from chopping trees down at 3am.
