They are called "Nature Preserves". The one near the Savannah Center is a Gopher Turtle Preserve. The sticks mark the entrance to holes in the ground so mowers don't disturb them. I believe they are on the $5.00 map that I haven't heard anyone talk about in a long time. There is also a SOUTH version too.
