Jump into a fun, high-tech, interpretive treasure hunt on 307 acres.  Playing off the worldwide geocaching concept, the Eco Caching program focuses on environmental education.  Explorers use GPS-receivers with programmed treasure hunting destinations to log the find in the passport.  A scenic hike, clever seeking skills, and a keen eye will end with the excitement of the cache discovery.  Caches will focus on a specific plant, animal, or a natural concept.  Inside are fun fact cards, a unique stamp, and a hands-on activity.  This is a great way to explore the woods and learn about your surroundings!  Complete a passport with all cache stamps and receive adventure bucks good towards an experience at the USNWC.

Eco Caching Principles

  • Find cache and explore contents
  • Log your visit in log book
  • Maintain secrecy of cache from others
  • Leave contents of cache for next visitor
  • Replace cache in plain site and never bury
