The Fork of the Geocache Traditional Cache
OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

This geocache was hidden by kids for an ecology project. This geocache will teach you about primary succession. This is a small, traditional geocache purchased from geocaching.com. This geocache is up high in a tree where the fork is. This is not on private property and is located close to a parking lot when you can park. Wheelchairs can be used and dogs can go too. This is not a very hard cache to find. There are no dangers that include poisonous plants.
Primary succession is a type of ecological succession in which an area with little or no soil develops into a climax community, such as a hardwood forest. First, a pioneer species, like lichen, mosses, or ferns start to grow on the rock. Eventually, the rock is broken down into soil and small plants start to grow on the rock. After the plants die and decay into soil, new, larger plants begin to grow. Meanwhile, different animal species start to move into the area. After many years, hardwood trees grow into that ecosystem. This is called a climax community and is usually reached after 150-200 years.
