This cache is located in Sutherland Nature Sanctuary which is at 3960 Diehl Road, South of Pratt Rd, East of Hadley, West of M-24. The coordinates for the parking lot are N42 56.504' W083 22.760'.
"In the 1960's Doris Sutherland had a vision. She purchased a working farm and had trees planted to help nature heal the land after a century of logging and farming. She gave 75 acres to the Great Lakes Bioregional Land Conservancy and on Earth Day in 1999 it was dedicated as a nature sanctuary and land stewardship center.
"Today the Sutherland Nature Sanctuary provides a pavillion with picnic tables and nearly three miles of wood chipped trails. Hikers can visit wetlands, ponds, meadows and streams. Bridges span streams and there are benches along the trails for resting and observing wildlife. Visitors may see birds, deer, ducks, turtles, fish, and many other plants and animals.
"VOLUNTEERS are always needed to help with improvements, maintenance, and programs. If you would like to help with projects at the Sutherland Nature Sanctuary or would like to arrange a . . . specail event, call the stewards, Ed & Sharon Dunsmore at (810) 797-4643."
Thanks to a fellow Geocacher who loves the area, the box has been upgraded to a standard ammo box (apparently a tupper-stuff container from the dollar store isn't a great cache. huh.). All the contents were replaced too, because the first ones were... Soggy!
Be sure to visit the other caches in this park while visiting... They are currently GCTY5G (Sutherland Leaner), and GCVCCK (Sutherland Rocker).
