For nature trails and for environmental education centers, Leaf Critters® LLC offers a unique set of 20 interpretive signs that feature the Leaf Critters® characters.

Let Oakster™, Pinen™, Shuggie™ and the gang introduce their home trees like no other being can! Trail-goers will leave (snicker!) remembering the Leaf Critters® and their names. You will hear those who take a Leaf Critters® demarcated trail speak aloud, “Hey! There’s a Shuggie™!” They will say the name of the character and really get to know the tree by name as they continue along the trail. That is the sound of engagement and learning!

Offer the Be-Leave™ pins for sale or as a reward for taking the trail. We all know how kids love to collect leaves, but this is not what the forest needs. The nutrients left from leaf litter (those leaves that don’t fly far from the tree and become Leaf Critters®) are critical components of good topsoil as they decompose.

Have trail takers collect a Leaf Critters® character instead of a leaf. Proceeds from sales could help toward the upkeep of the trails.
