I've only ever seen them at hiking trails, so yes. I'd rather be hiking than doing anything else

There is this nature reserve I like to go to nearby. They have a whole row of these setup explaining stuff about the region, the plants, what they do to preserve it (which is a lot). There's also some along the walking route with relevant explanations about some of the plants and animals present at that location.

Until one day some fucking asshole during Covid got a lot of shitty anti-vax stickers and plastered them all over the place. All over all of the info signs, the walking route markers, basically anywhere they could. It must have been hundreds of stickers.

Next time I came there I reported it, but they said they were aware. People had tried to remove the stickers, but they were those really shitty paper stickers that just fell apart instead of coming off. They also weren't water proof, so withing two weeks they weren't even readable any more.

Some time later the people managing the place attempted to remove the stickers but it didn't work. In the end they used such a strong chemical it not only removed the sticker but also damaged the plastic underneath. Those things were constructed of a metal plate with the prints on them and sandwiched in between acrylic. The kind of thing that will hold up for years outside and is easy to clean. The acrylic was also treated with an anti-graffiti coating, but that didn't help against those shitty stickers I guess.

The signs were all but destroyed at that point and a forest manager told me they didn't have the funds to replace them all. Some of the sings have since been replaced, but there are still a lot left damaged.

It ruined my peaceful place and made me hate anti-vaxxers even more. I used to go there to escape from all the awful stuff in the world during Covid as it was one of the things one could still do to not be locked in place all the time. People suck.

This thing means - "Beyond this point remains some collection of natural items that rednecks have yet to destroy, or that venture capitalism has failed to monetize, yet."

Maps with hats.

IRL wiki about the shit around me?! Fuck yes!

You are here 🔴

I never gave these things a second thought, but yeah, they are pretty awesome actually.

As a trail maintenance volunteer, I am biased, but yeah, I like them too.

My only problem with these are that the plastic on them is always somehow smudge/frosted enough that you cant read a thing.

I love bulletin boards! They're always a good spot to find local events

There will be a meeting

Here is a map of the area not to scale

Why did my dumb ass think this was a cute lil baby guillotine at first

The ones put up by my region's park system usually have 4 sides and are even better.

Each side is typically like:

• Trail map

• Park/trail rules and contact info

• Local flora and fauna info

• Local ecology info and history

An information board, such as a noticeboard or interpretive sign.

You can find them with the there linked overpass-turbo tool.

I once cycled to a pub in the rain to meet friends. The pub had no where to lock a bike, apart from one of these roofed sign things. It was tricky but I managed to lock it to it. It was great, kept the rain off my bike.

Reminds me of visiting the Adirondacks as a kid for some reason...

I only think of one thing: nostalgic park memories.

A "noticeboard with a roof"?

Gives information and keeps me from getting wet. 10/10 excellent structure
