Geocache Description:

Pine River Nature Center Series (5 of 6)

As you probably figured, the Traveling Spartans are NOT big Buckeye fans, however we named this cache for my brother (The Wandering Buckeye) who first introduced us to Geocaching! This is a regular sized ammo box with plenty of room for trade items.
We hope you enjoy the Series!!

Please do not cross over the train tracks to the caches in Goodells Park...Do them seperately, the caches over there are a fabulous series in and of themselves!! Thanks!

Trails are open daily from dawn to dusk to the public. The main building is open Tuesday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Trail maps are available outdoors. The trail maps will prove helpful as most of the caches are named for the trail in which they are located!

The Pine River Nature Center Series (PRNCS) is designed to expose people to the beauty and tranquility of this St. Clair County hidden gem! We hope you enjoy a few hours in the PRNC and enjoy the series. Caches are all very close to the trails so please observe the 90° rule, remember there is NO need for ANY bushwacking!
The mission of the Pine River Nature Center is to promote the awareness, understanding and stewardship of the Blue Water Area's natural heritage. The center provides hands-on science education programming for schools correlated with the Michigan Curriculum Framework. It also offers outdoor recreation and environmental education opportunities for area residents.
Owned and operated by the St. Clair County Regional Educational Service Agency, the primary purpose of the nature center facility is educational field trips for local schools. Programs are offered free to schools located in St. Clair County.

The Pine River Nature Center's two miles of trails are open daily from dawn until dusk for public use. Occasional Scouting and public programs are also offered.

Dogs, horses, bikes and motorized vehicles are not permitted. The Pine River Nature Center is a nature preserve intended for educational purposes. Please help us maintain and protect the natural area.

The nature center property is 90-acres in size and includes mature hardwood forest, wetland and prairie habitats.

The meandering Pine River has cut deep ravines that afford dramatic views of the floodplain below.

During May and June, the forest floor is filled with a spectacular spring wildflower display that includes large-flowered trillium, mayapple and wild geranium.

The diverse habitats are home to a wide variety of wildlife, such as white-tailed deer and mink. More than 70 species of birds have been sighted on the property, including great blue heron, wood duck and warblers that only frequent the deep woods.
