Would You Have Ant Qualms About My Description?

Description of this woodland is factual but wondering if it's okay to mention how the seeds of berries are spread... hopefully it's no problem. Perhaps I'm 'overthinking' it. I know a lot of children play with their parents so it would be good to insert some facts considering there will no doubt be lots of young families in the new housing developments surrounding the wood.
For reference, here is the other sign (these form the two main entrances to the woodland):

I think the last sentence specifically about squirrels is a bit unnecessary, but overall I enjoy that you conveyed information about the area rather than simply "Educational sign."
I cannot read the text on either sign, but I typically summarize the text or something similar to "... Sign exploring the impact that rain gardens have on the ecosystem" if I want to be more brief.
They appear to be different signs on close examination, but it's clear they aren't. You may struggle with one getting flagged as a duplicate. If you didn't already, make sure the supporting information helps prove both are unique locations.

I would say, the description is good enough for the game.
In game, nobody ever reads the POI description. If you submit both of these, one should go through and the other should be rejected for being a Duplicate

I really read a lot of them to correct any spelling mistakes and try to better the game with more accurate titles/descriptions. Sometimes, I get over a hundred Nia mails on one day because of this.
I made sure in the supporting photograph to show they are different locations, as the signs are several hundred metres apart from each other (and the map on the signs shows there are at least two entrances). The signs themselves state the woodland is run by volunteers, which organisation manages the wood, who to contact and the rules stating what one should not do in the woodland.
The problem is Niantic have said that identical "park entrance signs" should be treated as a duplicate of any existing POIs. As usual, Niantic have been very vague about how far apart they would need to be to be considered separate. When reviewing, the Wayfarer page shows us existing POIs within 250m of the submission. If I can see an identical sign on the "Nearby" wayspots, I consider that the submission is too close to qualify as it is not "visually unique".
I am taking "Ant Quams" and using it as the the name of my new electroswing Sepultura cover band.
