Geocache Description:

A cache located immediately northeast of the Altona Forest.


Pickering has over 25 "passive/open" greenspaces; some have benches that are perfect for picnicking or relaxing while taking in views, and others left to the wild. Near the cache is the Bicentennial Arboretum, a greenspace with a winding path of limestone screening, and a variety of trees to celebrate the diversity of coniferous and deciduous species in Ontario.

This cache is a small container cammo'd in nature. When first laid, there was plenty of trash in the area, so a major clean-up was undertaken, but please feel free to do some CITO of your own. And then maybe afterwards, hike southwest, following the hydro towers, until you find one of several entrances to the Altona Forest, and enjoy the plentiful trails that are in this 53 hectare (102 acres) expanse of environmentally significant land. 

Note that being under the hydro wires, there was generous bounce. The coordinates provided are the averaging of several attempts to get a stable reading.
