Glundberg’s Cedars Traditional Cache
Pappa Bear: No joy here; no time to create a new container that works here. The last container was fun to make and hid in plain view, but apperantly someone liked it too! So here's to hoping a new cache will find its way to this beautiful tree.

From humble beginnings comes one of Tacoma's greatest treasures, and this cache is placed at the memorial to one of its founders.
Long before Snake Lake and the surrounding area were set aside as a nature preserve, Native American tribes used the abundant resources of the wetland. The Snake Lake area was traditional tribal land used as a resource for berries, bulbs and tender shoots. The reeds were used for mats inside their dwellings as wall and floor coverings and on the outside as protective covering.
In the early 1970s William Glundberg, director of Metro Parks Tacoma, recognized the potential for a nature center on the site, and his tireless work made the Nature center possible, and gave him the title of The Great Enabler”. Countless hours of volunteer labor have helped to preserve the land and promote nature education, so that now we have the current interpretive center which accommodates school and group tours, outreach programs, community programs and special events, and, of course, appeals to families.
This park truly is a haven in the middle of the city. If you haven't visited the Woodlands garden or the interpretive Center, take a few minutes and do it! There is a large picnic table area nearby, to help you stay awhile.
Don’t miss the Loop Trail series by ohjoy!. They are such wonderful trails to explore.
Congratulations to ProjectFred325 on FTF.
