GREVER'S NATURE CENTER Traditional Cache
HIKAMTN: Went back today to try and find my cache. They have cleared some of the trails, which was really surprizing to me. There is awful lot of destruction in the nature center. I looked for over an hour and still could not find the cache, so it is time to archive it. I was able to find my other three caches in here, so go get them. HIKAMTN

Grever's Nature Center is a gem to visit! About 90 acres in size, it was donated to the Marshall Public Schools by Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Grevers. Mr. Grevers, who with his wife had immigrated from Holland, purchased the land in 1941, raised perennial flowers on some of it, planted seedling pines on the more hilly portions, and maintained over six miles of trails through the acreage. The western portion of Mud Lake lies within the center. All areas except the narrow strip of swamp land at the north end are accessible by trail. A very informative brochure can be picked up at the parking lot which provides a map of the trail system and a commentary on the variety of habitat, flora and fauna to be found. One point of interest is that the swamp directly north of the center is the headwaters of the Dickinson Creek which flows through the Historic Bridge Park at Battle Creek. The cache is located down a nice kept trail. When you reach a abandoned old car, hang a left and go up the hill. The cache is about 160' off the trail. Should be easy to find but a little tricky to retrieve. Just remember one thing, I'm 62 yrs. old and I put it there, you'll be ok. Look around, Mother Nature has provided the tools to retrieve it and to put it back. That's what I used. Please put it back where it was. A couple of toys in it for the kids and I put one of my pathtags in it. If you don't have one of my pathtags please take and keep it. Start your collection with it. Hope you like it. Have fun!!
