Please read this link about White-nose syndrome in bats. This is a serious problem that I'm sure everyone would like to help stop. Bat have been found in the area with White-nose syndrome
I've joined the Michigan Karst Conservancy which owns the property this cache is on. I'm very interested in geology and they are protecting a rare type of geology in Michigan. A quote from the MKC.
"We ask that everyone treat the features of the Preserve in such a way that their interest and appearance are not altered. Please do not leave any food or litter along the trails, and consider using the privy near the Emma Kalnbach History Pavilion (parking area) before venturing onto the trails. A collecting permit from the Preserve Committee is required to collect any animal, plant or mineral specimens, and written permission and a qualified leader are required from the Conservancy to explore any caves encountered on the Preserve."
The Fiborn Karst Preserve was a limestone quarry from 1905 through 1935. Check out this link for more history of this area. Please stay on the trail as long as possible. The ground can be uneven and hard to walk on in places. I hope you will enjoy this area as much I as do.
This cache is located within the Fiborn Karst preserve, which is owned and managed by the Michigan Karst Conservancy. All of the preserves managed by the MKC are free to visit. Parking is allowed only in the designated areas. Always practice Cache In, Trash Out.
