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.
