You can’t deny that finding these little items in the forest is definitely a “propellent” for some interesting discussions.

“Who else has come across these installations? Any idea of the meaning?” they wrote in the post.

Some users responded with their guesses of what they may be.

One user,corecursion0, responded by saying, “That looks like some sort of a sensor, not sure what, though.”

Another suggested that it could have something to do with the Vancouver mayor.

That looks like some sort of a sensor; I am not sure what, though

Daily Hive reached out to the Vancouver Park Board for an explanation, but the mystery remains.

“Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation staff are aware of these ‘propellor-like’ objects but are unable to identify what they are or why they have been installed. Staff are looking into it,” says Communications Manager Stephen Irving.

Stay tuned to find out what these little gadgets are.
