The sign reads:

"Plants grow by the inch but die by the foot. Please stay on the trail."

I found the sign here:

Yaquina Head Lighthouse 750 NW Lighthouse Dr, Newport, OR 97365 (541) 574-3100

It is an extraordinary nature area. We we're there at low tide and there are many many tide pools.

It's in a similar vein to this phrase. "Trust is earned by the penny but spend by the dollar."

The one posted also happens to be a pun though. A+
