There is space at the bottom to put directional arrows or trail names with permanent markers. Contact Nancy at recreation@hcbc.ca to order, or call or , extension Note: As responsible horsemen and trail builders, it is important to remember that trees are living things and to respect them as such. Do not use steel nails, which can damage trees and cause disease, as well as create a serious hazard for anyone who may have to use a chainsaw on the tree in the future. Use aluminum or nylon nails, and let them stick out enough to allow the tree room to grow, or nail through a used aluminum horseshoe (available from race horse owners or farriers) so the sign stays attached as the tree expands. (Thanks to Larri Woodrow and Bill Archibald of Back Country Horsemen of B.C. for the above advice.) 8/12
