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

They're common around designated nature trails in my country too. You're just remembering simpler, happier times probably.

We have one to cover our goat's alfalfa bales, and I've always thought it was neat. Unless I cut my arm on the roof, then it's not so neat
Loooove these stands, whether it's for a local map or for posters and events.

There will be a meeting

Here is a map of the area not to scale
Maps with hats.
I only think of one thing: nostalgic park memories.
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
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."

I literally just bought this as a gift to my dad 😅
Take a bee, leave a bee?
This is actually a so-called "insect hotel"! 😁
I was mainly just beeing silly, but I had thought of making one of these, and it seems that there is a lot that actually goes into having a good one. Proper size holes and the correct materials and all that. I suppose local insects require a number of specific things. I think I may go pollinator garden instead, but even finding the right types of plants seems daunting.
My original joke of the take a bee, leave a bee seems to have some basis in reality though! I found this blog post as the result of a reddit post and some insects do come and take some of the nesting insects! In addition to some hibernating or laying eggs, parasitic insects also love them, as one would enjoy a nice new supermarket in town! Seems similar to hawks staking out unsheltered bird feeders.
For your pollinator garden, see if there's a nursery that specializes in native plants of your region. They'll be able to help you figure out what you need and where to plant them.
Good reminder! Many of my garden centers have shut down, but there are 2 on my drive from work I havent checked out.
For anyone in US/Canada, someone here gave me this Xerces guide to regional pollinator plants that has sooooo much info. I definitely want some milkweed. We had a resurgence of monarch butterflies last year and it was really nice to see.
Make sure you buy the right kind of milkweed for your latitude! The monarchs need different things during different stages. And don't get the "tropical" or "Mexican" milkweed if you live above the Mexican border.
I did see there were quite a number of species! That's what makes all this so daunting! I just want to throw out some scoops of seed and attract bees and butterflies....why must it be so complex?! 🤯

Ah yeah I wasn't sure, did make me smile though :)
Thanks for sharing the extra posts, very interesting!
It's always interesting to learn about the talents of underrated animals like insects! The world around us is so amazing when we give it a closer look.
100%
You are here! I love it when they have a little local bird guid on there too.
Little lending libraries have that vibe and are also awesome.
As a trail maintenance volunteer, I am biased, but yeah, I like them too.
Kozolec supremacy.
What is that? A sort of trellis for vines to grow on? Drying rack?
I love bulletin boards! They're always a good spot to find local events
I've only ever seen them at hiking trails, so yes. I'd rather be hiking than doing anything else
I am on an elementary school's parent advisory committee and we had one built for school notices and fundraisers etc.
It took for ever to get built though, and cost an arm and a leg.
Had them in some small towns I lived in growing up that were used for a public board. Yard sales, missing stuff, other events or official notices.
Oh I've never seen that, maybe it's regional
These are small towns. Like between 200-1000ish people. East Coast of Canada for me.
