Outdoor literature display with registration forms

What if we put up literature displays (ala

with the
registration forms at the entrance to the trail. I see three
major entry points - Greenwood Cliff, Old Post and Erie
Crescent. A zip tie to the adopt a trail sign post should do the
trick.
Another thought is to print additional information on the
backside of the registration form. Could include work schedule,
contact information, other Oxbow specific information, pictures
of 'bad' plants, picture of recent workgroup, etc.

This sounds like something that would work... and fits with the
Adopt-a-Trail Ideals. If you haven't seen this page it's another
recognizing this project being taken on at the Oxbow

So everyone is aware, NYS Parks & Recreation, working along with
the NY Canal Corporation, will be placing signs as needed (or
maybe requested) for each trail section at either end at some
point in the future... this is from their webpage that describes
it a bit
The NYS Canal Corporation erects Adopt-a-Trail signs recognizing
the group or individuals at each end of the adopted trail
segment and also provides adopters with a cap and identifying
tee shirt. Trail adopters are able to work on their own schedule
but it is recommended that between April and November they
engage in maintenance activities once a month.

This Adopt-a-Trail program is one of the most extensive in the
country, getting National Reviews & Press

Maybe a sub-group starts to look at what size is needed for an
Oxbow Park Information Holder, work on ideas to "weatherproof"
the holder & contents and then find a location to place these
near to the AoT sineage that is yet to appear. Seems like
planning what Info needs to be shared, and contact information
to report ideas or issues is a good place to start. Should be
able to fit on 2-4 standard pieces of paper... and anything else
will be found here in the ECNA Forum under this Topic.
Any Thoughts from others?
