I am placing this series to help you identify the different tree varieties. The cache is hidden at the base of the tree being identified.
Eastern hemlock has a nodding" form defined by it's limbs and leaders and can be recognized at great distances. Some rank this tree among the "quality plants" to add to the landscape. They are "long-lived, refined in character and have no off-season" according to Guy Sternberg in Native Trees in North American Landscapes. Unlike most conifers, eastern hemlock has to have shade provided by hardwoods to regenerate. Unfortunately, stands of these trees are being damaged by the hemlock wooly adelgid.
Cache is a medium sized lock & lock container and contains the log book, pencil, sharpener and the usual trade items. Please do not remove the sharpener.
There is a winner medal for the FTF.
Congrats to Derb522002 for FTF.
