Tagging and Information -- How?

When you walk through the education trails there will be a tag and information about the trees along that trail. For example the local name, family name, genus name or even until the species name.

I just wander what is the best way to give a good information about that trees or herbs? As you can see in the photo above, it only give the local name and family name of that tree. That is the only information that we can get. I am not a good botanist so this is not attractive at all for me so i am not sure if i can identify this tree if i walk inside the forest.

What is the best way then?

In a new nature park near me, there are modern looking information signs in different areas of the park. They put them in places where they don't interfere with anything. The signs show some details about the plants and animals in the area. There are even pictures to help identify the wildlife around them. They keep things simple enough for normal people to understand, while still teaching them about nature.

Ratty--If the sign or tagging is more information it really help. I hope we can do something about it for our nature trail here. Thanks for share your thoughts and idea.
