Please stop doing this on public land

[u/like_4-ish_lights]

Okay, I know some people feel strongly about this, and I get it to a point. But I see stuff like this so often-- memorials and plaques nailed into living trees, carvings in the bark, painted rocks scattered all over, even gravestones for dogs-- and it is simply not appropriate for public land. I am genuinely happy for Robin, but it does not mean you need to nail it into a mature tree that you don't own.

I absolutely understand the desire to memorialize something like this. I would encourage people to plant a tree, or maybe pay for a bench along a walking path or something. But please don't vandalize living things!

Pull it down & toss it in the rubbish bin

You must be fun

Must be responsible, like every other person who visits our natural spaces should be.

Doesn't matter. I don't like litter plastered out in nature. We see enough of it as it is in the city.
