Geocache Description:

To celebrate "Earth Day" we decided to plant some "Nature Caches".
So get out and enjoy the great outdoors.

The mountain area where the caches are hidden is behind
St.Nicks Byzatine Cemetery in Swoyersville. The area is great for
walking, hiking. Some areas have a great view of the valley.

There are other caches located in this area you might want to pick
up while you’re on the mountain. There is varying terrain and multiple trails to
choose from. It's a popular place for ATV'S on the weekends so be careful.
There is active logging in some parts of the mountain during the week.

The Anatomy of a Tree Fun Facts
The outer bark is the tree's protective covering from the outside world. Continually
renewed from within, it helps keep out moisture in the rain and prevents the tree
from losing moisture when the air is dry. It insulates against cold and heat and
wards off insect enemies.
The inner bark is a pipeline through which food is passed to the rest of the tree.
It lives for only a short time, then dies and turns to cork to become part of the
protective outer layer.
Sapwood is the tree's pipeline for water moving up to the leaves. Sapwood is new
wood. As newer rings of sapwood are laid down, inner cells lose their vitality
and turns to heartwood.
Heartwood is the central, supporting pillar of the tree although dead it will not decay or
lose it's strength. A piece 12" long and 1"by 2" set vertically can support a weight of twenty tons.
