Sign for IFI Project The IFI project is an investigation into the rate of vegetation regrowth after cutting back under power lines. It would be helpful if an arrow were added showing the direction of the next sign. At present, a study of the hedgerow concerned makes it pretty clear the next sign must be to the right, but later on it may not be so obvious.
