WELCOME TO THE HARVARD FOREST!
All of the caches in this Harvard Forest series are placed with permission from the Harvard Forest administration. Please be respectful of the ongoing research work in the Harvard Forest. If you have questions or comments about the caches, the puzzles, the hides, or really, anything related to geocaching, please contact the CO via Message Center or email. Don't bug the staff here. Seriously.
All caches are accessible from posted trails, and are located within 10-20' of a trail. No need to bushwhack. Please stay on the trails, keep dogs leashed, and don't disturb any research equipment, materials or markers.
