Geocache Description:

Off the White Trail in the Whittemore Santurary on Rt. 64, it's a little bigger than a film canister. But be sure to BYOP.

In 1965, Flanders Nature Center signed a lease with the J.H. Whittemore Corporation for the use of 686 acres of land off Route 64 in Woodbury, just a short distance south of Quassy Amusement Park.

For 35 years, Flanders managed the open space property, until the organization was able to raise the funds to purchase the property that is known today as the Whittemore Sanctuary. Its extensive 8-mile trail system, open to the public, winds through a wide range of ecological habitats, including woodlands, streams, ponds and a large bog. The bog and wetlands support endangered, threatened and rare plants.

The forest on the property is, historically, one of the oldest privately managed forests in Connecticut, containing planted white pine, regenerated oak and several large laurel and tulip tree stands.
