Start from the Visitors Center and head south on the Weapons-to-Wetlands Trail. Remember to stay on the trail during this walk. Take time to read about the Fernald Preserve’s previous Cold War mission when you locate this cache. You’re looking for a small Lock & Lock container. Permission to place granted by the U.S Department of Energy.
Come see the 1,050-acre Fernald Preserve. The site is open 7 days a week from 7:00 a.m. to dusk. The Visitors Center and exhibit area are open Wednesday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This preserve provides a unique opportunity to see how efficiently and effectively nature responds to a large-scale ecological restoration effort. The site has amazing wildlife, including muskrats, beaver, and birds, that can often be seen in the wetlands and open water. The woodlands, prairies, and savannahs are home to a variety of mammals and reptiles, as well as native and migratory birds. Please observe all postings while visiting the Fernald Preserve. Pets are not allowed because they often scare the wildlife.
