I can pick them up for free, or nearly.
One blind makes loads of markers; each slat can be cut to whatever lengths you like.
I use a soft pencil, which seems to survive the weather best. As a bonus, I can rub it off!
They're not pretty, but they work.
Outside slats have holes for tree-tag attachment...

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

S Carreg wrote: The other thing for really permanent ones which works GREAT is old foil disposable baking trays (if you don't use them you can scour other peoples' recycling, or freecycle, or ask restaurants). Cut them into strips, wrap them around small strips of wood, and then use a blunt pencil or similar (chopstick maybe?) to 'write' on them (pressing the metal) - have a few tags like this on trees from years ago.
