The Lancaster County Conservancy is the first non-profit land trust in the world to actively participate in geocaching. As such, we have obtained special permission from the Groundspeak home office in order to place this special event cache. Check out our website.
For both beginner and advanced geocachers, this event will raise funds to preserve important natural areas in Lancaster County.
There is a registration fee of $40 per team (1 vehicle per team).

Since 1970, the Conservancy has acquired and maintains over 16 miles of trails on over 1,600 acres of natural open space and over 800 acres of easements, all open to the public free of charge. LCC was the first land trust to place geocaches on its preserves. As a community-based non-profit organization, this event will provide critical support to expand and maintain this public open space.
