This cache is on property owned by the French Creek Valley Conservancy (FCVC). The property was donated to the FCVC by Charimina Hazen and Rebecca Hodges of Saegertown, and named for John Lupher, founder of the First Methodist Church in Meadville and an ancestor of Ms. Hazen and Ms. Hodges. Visit the FCVC website at frenchcreekconservancy.org.
This is undeveloped property with no trails. Take care when making your way through the undergrowth. The cache is near the creek, but note that creek access is not recommended from this area. You can enjoy the view though!
This cache is maintained by Creek Connections, an environmental education project at Allegheny College. At the heart of Creek Connections is a collaboration between the
college and teachers in western Pennsylvania and New York for the
purpose of encouraging natural science education through hands-on
field and laboratory experiences. Allegheny College faculty and
students provide the framework and assistance for school-based
investigative research in regional watersheds. Emphasizing a
hands-on, inquiry based investigation of local waterways, this
project annually involves over 40 different secondary schools and
the classes of 50 teachers. Check out our website at http://creekconnections.allegheny.edu/
