Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Conservancy! This two stage multi-cache is located on the grounds of the DeVries Nature Conservancy and should be accessed from the state highway (M-52). Please do yourself a big favor and use the wonderful trail system to get to the final stage rather than attempting the "as the crow flies" approach which would require unnecessarily scaling a very steep slope.

The DeVries Nature Conservancy is a nonprofit organization created through the estate of Jack and Frances DeVries. It was the DeVries’ intent that their property endure forever as a place for the community to enjoy; dedicated to preserving the natural history and agricultural heritage of Shiawassee County.

DeVries Nature Conservancy’s 3.8 miles of trails take visitors through 136 acres of farmland, forest, restored prairie, and floodplain along the beautiful Shiawassee River—just 5 minutes from downtown Owosso. Visit the Conservancy year-round for a great place to hike, cross country ski, learn more about Michigan’s natural history, or find a quiet place to commune with Nature.

The DeVries’ Historical Carriage and Sleigh Museum boasts one of the finest collections of carriages, buggies, surreys, sleighs and cutters in the Midwest. Entrance to the Museum is by appointment only.

This Conservancy is just one of many interesting and historic attractions in Owosso. Curwood Castle is certainly another destination worth checking out, located about two and a half miles south along the bank of the Shiawassee River. If you are not from the area, please take some time to visit the city and appreciate the rich, cultural heritage it offers.
