To mark plants, consider getting some metal foil plant tags. You write on them with a pencil or pen to make a permanent, weatherproof impression. Consider adding a vinyl water resistant sticker to the other side to give them a more professional look!
You can use the Nature's Notebook logo to purchase stickers, or use your own logo. Find various versions of the Nature's Notebook and USA-NPN logos on our Media page - https://www.usanpn.org/news/media

Karl, that is a very handsome tag and good advice about how to tie them to the tree. We may use such tags for the larger cottonwoods at Rio Grande Nature Center State Park.
We use Amekron Impress-o-Tags. For our larger trees under observation, we have to use additional material (usually cord) since the small wires that come with the foil tags are fairly short (see attached). Remember that wire may eventually cut into plant stems as they grow in girth, so tie them loosely and check every few years for constriction.
