Geocache Description:

Lots of room in the forest for an ammo can.

Turkey oak (Quercus laevis), also called Catesby oak or scrub oak, is a small, moderately fast to fast-growing tree found on dry sandy soils of ridges, pinelands, and dunes, often in pure stands. This oak is not commercially important because of its size, but the hard, close-grained wood is an excellent fuel. The acorns are an important food to wildlife.Turkey oak is so named for its 3-lobed leaves which resemble a turkey's foot.

You'll find turkey oaks interspersed among the pines int he scrub ecosystem of the ONF. As luck would have it, you you'll find a couple of little examples right next to the cache, or vice versa.
