…one thousand trucks poured into the national park, offloading over 12,000 metric tons of sticky, mealy, orange compost onto the worn-out plot. The site was left untouched and largely unexamined for over a decade. A sign was placed to ensure future researchers could locate and study it.
16 years later, Janzen dispatched graduate student Timothy Treuer to look for the site where the food waste was dumped.
Treuer initially set out to locate the large placard that marked the plot — and failed.
They mention a magical yellow sign like 8 times in the article and never once show a photo. LET ME SEE THIS GIANT YELLOW SIGN.
Edit: I was wrong, article is good.
There’s a photo of the sign near the end of the article. It’s not yellow but it has yellow writing.
Ahh foiled again by the ad blocker, thanks for the heads up! I feel much better now.
