Dr. Francis H. Kortright
(River View)
The Kortright Centre is named after Dr. Francis
H. Kortright (1887-1972), world-famous outdoorsman, an engineer,
businessman, author and dedicated conservationist. Long before the
environmental crisis became a well-known issue worldwide, Dr.
Kortright recognized the urgency and resolved to do something about
it. He devoted the latter part of his life, his full attention and
abundant energies, to the cause of protecting wild animals of the
fields, the forests, the waters and the skies. In so doing, he
created for all Canadians a legacy that will be appreciated by many
generations to come.
The cache is located at a small viewing
platform\bridge offering a nice view of the East Humber
River.
On one of the outside walls of the visitor
center you will find a very large and old wooden carving that will
be of interest and is related to the topic of this cache.
