Litter-based trailmarkers
It’s amazing how much litter there is in the Gabriola woods, and it’s not just along the trail, either: some of it’s under a dense thicket of salal. I know this because I bush-crash through the woods fairly regularly, and discover lots of stuff in the process.
Under salal I find plastic water bottles, juice bottles, and pop bottles. I suspect the salal-pickers leave these, because they appear in areas where I’ve seen salal being picked, or seen evidence that salal pickers have been in the area. (Salal pickers leave certain things behind, so it’s easy to see where they’ve been, even long after the salal they’ve picked has grown back.)
Anyway. Somebody else is finding this litter, too, and this somebody makes trail-markers out of the stuff.
