FARGO — "What will be a new regional recreation area in southwest Fargo is beginning to take shape.

"The Fargo Park District has received a more than $520,000 Outdoor Heritage Fund grant from the North Dakota Industrial Commission for its portion of the Southwest Pond Regional Recreational Area.

"The grant program is funded with oil and gas production tax revenue and supports projects related to outdoor sporting, stewardship practices, fish and wildlife preservation and outdoor recreation areas, the district said.

"A partnership between the park district and city of Fargo, the project stretches from 52nd Avenue South to 64th Avenue South between Veterans Boulevard and a farm field off 45th Street.

"Park Director Tony Schmitt said it includes 160 acres of park land to be restored to upland prairie and wetlands, providing habitat for deer, pheasants, ducks and other migratory birds.
Nature trails and concrete trails will weave alongside a sprawling, 40 acre pond."

[...]

"The land will be seeded with native grasses and flowers, Schmitt said. Benches and interpretive signs offering information about the surrounding environment will go up and trails will go in."

Why? What did Tim do?

(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)

A park district sign for a hiking trail from "The County of Union New Jersey," with a glass cover and a tackboard inside. The tackboard has several paper flyers tacked on it, and the words "Take only photos... Leave only footprints... Kill only Tim. Please stay on the trails."

[The silent E is missing from "kill only time," so yes, it really does say "Tim."]

I wonder if the person who made this sign intended the unspoken story here.🤔

The meme is a photo of a sign from a nature park, which reads, "Dispose of trash properly." 

Beneath that instruction are two arrows-- the top arrow faces right, and the bottom facing left. 

Inside the top arrow is a pictograph with two human figures wearing backpacks and holding walking sticks. It reads, "PACK IT IN."

Inside the bottom arrow is a pictograph with one human figure, stuffing something in the trunk of a car.  It reads, "PACK IT OUT."

Meme text reads:
"I... am just going to note that there are *two* people at the start of this hike."

Overlooking an unusual "view" for Jacksonville, rarely can you see farther than a few feet in any direction with some type of obstruction  ... trees, buildings, etc ... here, at the nature preserve you can look out over a vast wetland, with a mix of marsh reeds, tropical plants, waterways (on this visit, low tide), all under the big blue Florida sky.Overlooking an unusual "view" for Jacksonville, rarely can you see farther than a few feet in any direction with some type of obstruction  ... trees, buildings, etc ... here, at the nature preserve you can look out over a vast wetland, with a mix of marsh reeds, tropical plants, waterways (on this visit, low tide), all under the big blue Florida sky.Overlooking an unusual "view" for Jacksonville, rarely can you see farther than a few feet in any direction with some type of obstruction  ... trees, buildings, etc ... here, at the nature preserve you can look out over a vast wetland, with a mix of marsh reeds, tropical plants, waterways (on this visit, low tide), all under the big blue Florida sky.Overlooking an unusual "view" for Jacksonville, rarely can you see farther than a few feet in any direction with some type of obstruction  ... trees, buildings, etc ... here, at the nature preserve you can look out over a vast wetland, with a mix of marsh reeds, tropical plants, waterways (on this visit, low tide), all under the big blue Florida sky.
