Your adventure will take you along a board walk along and
through the marsh. If you have time, check out the blind at the
South end of the boardwalk where you can view the water foul
without disturbing them. You will need to gather information on
mammals, birds, fish, and plants from four different plaques along
the boardwalk. One is placed on a lookout which will give you a
wonderful view of the marsh.
Mammals - N 43 49.980 W 79 35.957
There are many species in the picture. A few of them are losing
their homes due to development, pollution, and invasive species.
How many mammals do you see? Record this as A. Look closely.
Birds – N 43 49.975 W 79 35.968
Wetland habitat protection is helping protect species from
extinction and helping other species thrive. The people in the
picture are demonstrating examples of how to help protect wetlands.
How many birds do you see in the picture? Record this as B.
Fish - N 43 49.972 W 79 35.978
Many aquatic species make wet wetlands their home. Fish, frogs,
turtles, beetles, and dragon flies are just a few. How many fish do
you see in the picture? Record this as C.
Plants - N 43 49.984 W 79 35.997
Wetland plants are an important part of any wetland. They
provide food, shelter, and oxygen for many animals. How many plants
do you see named in the picture? Record this as D.
Now that you have the four answers, do the following math.
EE.EEE = (A + B) / 1000 + 50.013
FF.FFF = (C + D) / 1000 + 35.927
The cache is located at N 43 EE.EEE W 79 FF.FFF
This cache was placed under direct supervision of park staff.
Please use the provided trails and visit this geocache only during
park hours.
The sign for the plants has been temporarily removed for repair.
Until this is complete, assume there are 10 plants on the sign.
