Keeping Your Visitors Informed

[THOaken]

This is how you do it. I love noticeboards like these that are scattered around the woodland, informing the walker about the forestry operations and the progress and development of the woodland itself. I thought this thread could be a tribute to some of the ones you've seen that you enjoyed reading or found interesting in any way.

I went to the woods this afternoon to brush up on I.D skills and found this:

Here's an older one from Abernethy Forest, a gem:

I always stop to read things like this; it adds to the visit if you know some details of what is going on and why.

 

[Man of Tanith]

I like the second one a lot.
sarcastic yet also very valid

Very true. Most times you'll read something that will tell you about the immediate area in which you're standing and you lift your head and see the place anew.

I like the ones where it tells you about the special local flora and fauna to that area.

I too like the second one .

Where was this photo taken? Some very good points, but I'm curious about the sportsmanship aspects.

Indeed. I always like getting info about the area I am visiting. It really helps to 'read the land'.

Yeah right, look left, look right, run

 

[Stew]

You know what, I think I may have been there Shewie - caving in Alum pot rings a bell!

 

[Stringmaker]

That pepper spray one is a goodie but Uncle Ray swears by the stuff!

 

[Clouston98]

I reckon I'd want more than pepper spray if I saw a grizzly, that or be with someone who runs really slow .

It apears to be guidelines for the spectators at a skiing event (World championship)

You are the slow companion at the moment pegleg! (Wait what's that noise in the bushes? RUN! Poor old Cam, we'll miss him)

 

[Clouston98]

might get myself a high speed, all terrain mobility scooter with pepper spray cannons on so I don't get eaten .
