Hall's Pond is one of two natural ponds remaining in Brookline. The sanctuary contains a pond, wetlands, an upland area, a formal garden area, and a short trail with wetland overlooks that circles the pond. Amory Woods was incorporated into and connected to Hall's Pond in 2000. Amory Woods has a small wetland, handicapped accessible nature trail, and a gazebo. The pond and uplands provide habitat for a variety of birds including great blue herons, black-crowned night herons, kingfishers, and red-winged blackbirds. With no spring or stream feeding the pond, the source of the water in the pond is rainwater falling in the surrounding heavily developed urban land. The sanctuary is used for habitat for plants and animals, environmental education and passive exploration. Active recreation, such as ball games, bicycling and dog walking are not permitted inside the property.
The cache is hidden within 10 ft of the main path in a spot that a gnome might hide. First-to-find gets an appropriate treasure! This is a take something, leave something cache.
Note to pet owners: While animals are allowed at Amory park, you will have to tie your furry friend up outside of the pond area while you find the cache.
