Geocache Description:

Updated 9/12/2025!

Welcome to the Native Plants of the Eastern Shore Cache #1! While you are here, please take a few minutes to explore the beautiful "Native Plant Nature Trail" created by the Eastern Shore Master Naturalists. This trail takes you on a beautiful walk behind the Historic Onancock School along the Onancock Creek.


Walking this trail will provide you with the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of Eastern Shore Native Plants, as well as the opportunity to find 2 different geocaches!

This cache can be found near the "entrance" of the Native Plant Nature Trail behind the Historic Onancock School.  If you start in the gravel parking area you will not have to go far down the trail to find this cache!  Think: Walk down the trail a bit and see what's hanging around.

UPDATED/NEW Container Size:  Small

1 other cache can be found nearby! The "Historic Onancock School" geocache from the Captain John Smith Geotrail!

Native plants are an extremely important factor in the overall function of the Eastern Shore's natural ecosystem.  To learn more about the importance and benefits of Eastern Shore Native Plants please view this handy Fact Sheet from the Virginia Department for Environmental Equality.
