Geocache Description:

This cache is along the trails with in the Claire Birtz Wildlife Sanctuary. The trails wind along the shore of Morse Pond, through stands of beech trees, hemlock, and mixed forest habitats. There are old stone walls and the experience of history and nature at the site is inspiring.


Ms. Claire J. Birtz was an art teacher in the Town of Southbridge school system for many years. Upon her death in February 2000, at the age of 92, Ms. Birtz bequeathed a gift to Southbridge for beautification of the town. One way her gift could be used was to acquire land in order to protect habitat for wildlife. Ms. Birtz supported various conservation organizations during her lifetime. Through a partnership between Opacum Land Trust, The Trustees of the Claire Birtz Estate and The Town of Southbridge, The Claire Birtz Wildlife Sanctuary exemplifies her passion for wildlife and nature. In keeping with Ms. Birtz’ wishes, the property is open to the public for activities that bring people closer to nature, such as bird-watching, painting, & drawing, and kayaking.
