KeyStones 
You can hide some KeyStones in your community! 
KeyStones are small rocks placed in plain sight for people to find unexpectedly and keep. Keystones inspire people to reflect on their dreams, something they would like for themselves, their community, or world. Hundreds of people have described the impact of finding an unexpected treasure.  Read some stories.
