Geocache Description:

One of a number of School Day Challenge puzzle caches each dedicated to a school subject, with a couple of associated extras and extra curricula activities thrown in for fun.

We decided to make up an entire series of puzzle caches, hoping it would prove more challenging for one cacher to achieve all FTF's

All caches are on footpaths arround the Bentley area. Livestock and electric fences may be encountered, usual rules apply.

The location given is not that of the cache, but within a mile of GZ.

Subjects are not stated - but can hopefully be worked out.

Forestry is the art and science of managing forests, tree plantations, and related natural resources. Silviculture, a related science, involves the growing and tending of trees and forests.

Modern forestry generally concerns itself with: assisting forests to provide timber as raw material for wood products; wildlife habitat; natural water quality management; recreation; landscape and community protection; employment; aesthetically appealing landscapes; biodiversity management; watershed management; erosion control; and a 'sink' for atmospheric carbon dioxide.

A practitioner of forestry is known as a forester. Note that the word "forestry" can also refer to a forest itself.

Forest ecosystems have come to be seen as one of the most important components of the biosphere, and forestry has emerged as a vital field of science, applied art, and technology throughout the world.

The cache is a small snap-lock container located on the boundary of a forest.

It is located at:

N52 17 . (Chad (Denmark+Chad) Slovenia) + Chad
W02 01 . (Wales Japan Portugal) - England
