Geocache Description:

This cache is placed to highlight the restoration and clean up of the Fox Run watershed. It is placed within the passive treatment system to give you the opportunity to see how various agencies are trying to repair pollution on a local level. The cache is a short walk from parking and if you use the correct route it is very accessible. There is no need to drive beyond the Fox Run Restoration sign. Please park before the sign and walk over.

You are looking for a 35mm film container with a prize for FTF. Additionally, replace the cache exactly as you found it.

Fox Run has seen much pollution from abandoned mines which feed dangerous alkaline iron into the local watershed. The streams distinct rusty color shows the passage of iron into the local water table. This passive treatment system uses natural vegetation to help contain iron and reduce the alkalinity of our local water supply. Please take the time to read the placards and appreciate the engineering and local agencies that participated time and money to improve our area and as always CITO. Please visit streamrestorationinc.org for more information about Fox Run and other local watershed restoration projects.
