New York Admin: Groundspeak has been contacted by the president of the Hudson Mohawk Bird Club, Inc in regards to the caches in Rist Wildlife Sanctuary. They were unaware any geocaches were within Rist and asked that they all be removed. The President of HMBC states "as you may know, the Reist Sanctuary is a bird sanctuary for scientific and educational purposes. The Reist has been set aside to preserve habitat, to allow breeding birds proper environments and it is a place for ongoing biological studies. Geocaching would not be in alignment with these purposes. "
I am archiving all geocaches within Rist at their request. Please remove your cache at your earliest convenience.
