Butternuts Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

treesqueaks: We are removing this geocache as requested by a neighbour. We recently learned that there was a difficult situation with a rude geocacher which prompted the removal of this cache. That is very disappointing and encourage everyone to be respectful of those who live around caches.

We hope to place it again in the future. Thanks to all who found it. Keep caching!

Geocache Description:

Butternut trees (a.k.a. white walnuts) are a member of the walnut family. There are a few trees in this area so check them out! The cache is a camo'd small lock 'n lock container.

The cache is a camo'd small loc 'n loc container. At time of placing, the contents included log, pencil, trading items (especially of interest to the kids as our son likes to find "kid" things in a cache), two race car trackables (please help them move along), and a FTF pin!

Butternut, Juglans cinerea L. is a member of the walnut family and is native to, and widespread in eastern Canada. The butternut tree is fast fading from our woodlands, field edges and backyards. The Butternut Canker fungus (Sirococcus clavigignentijuglandacearum) is causing the butternut’s decline. It can infect and kill healthy trees of any age and size. Currently, the butternut is listed as a Nationally Endangered Species by Environment Canada. The nuts can be hard to open (although the squirrels seem to have mastered it) and inside is a white, 'buttery' nut. A nice treat if you can break into one... we tend to use vice grips to crack them open!
