You will be looking for a mini-decon cache container hid in the Wildcat Habitat. It's a pretty casual walk as there are groomed trails going throughout the Preserve. The final resting spot of this find is in an interesting spot, but not much bushwacking will be required if you look in the right spot. Parking is available, however most parking spaces may be taken during regular school hours. Permission has been given to place this 'cache by Matt Haldemann, Assistant-Principal of Central Middle School.
The Wildcat Habitat Preserve is a 57 acre site surrounding Central Middle School. It consists of an old farm field, drained wetlands, and a small wood lot. Restoration began with the excavating of four ponds in the wetland area. About three acres of upland and four acres of wetland have been planted in prairie. The small existing wood lot has been enlarged and another small wood lot begun.
The Wildcat Habitat Preserve has been developed using private donations from community service organizations such as:
•The Optimist Club
•The Jaycees
•The Junior Woman's Club
•Lincoln and Central School's PTOs
Grants were also received from various conservation groups including:
•The Hartford Gun Club
•The Wisconsin Waterfowl Association
•Ducks Unlimited
•Pheasants Forever
•Wisconsin Turkey Federation
