Geocache Description:



International Year of Forests Big Tree Geocache




The United Nations General Assembly declared 2011 as International Year of Forests to celebrate the sustainable management of the world's forests. Organizations throughout Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay watershed have taken this opportunity to encourage the celebration of forests for people. Check out Forestry for the Bay for more ways to celebrate International Year of Forests in your area.

The Chesapeake Bay Forestry Workgroup in partnership with the Maryland Forestry Boards want YOU to see some of the biggest trees in Maryland. Take an easy walk with a breathtaking tree as a reward. Remember to bring a camera to get a picture with a champion tree.

Cromwell Valley Park is open dawn to dusk and be sure to stop into the nature center on Saturdays 10am to 4 pm to learn about the history of the "bride and groom" trees which are the sycamores where this cache is hidden.

International Year of Forests wooden nickels
