This geocache commemorates the partnership between Waukesha County Parks and Rec., and 4-H UW-Extension. There are several entrances to the trailhead, but you may like starting from the Picnic Area #4 best, as this leads you into the "stem" of the 4-leaf clover. As an unintentional nod to 4-H, the path is shaped like a 4-leaf clover! Choose a path and stroll through a beautiful hardwood forest. Explore the diversity of Oaks, Maples, Elms, and Hickories, just to name a few.
While this area is now a hardwood forest, in previous generations, it was a farmer's field. You may even notice some old farming equipment during your stroll. While this equipment doesn't "grow" here, it is a subtle nod to the roots of 4-H and farming as well.
Bring hiking boots, as a river runs through the area and is frequently blocked up by beavers, making the area damp even during dry spells. Insect repellant is also a good idea.
Geocache contains a pen and logbook, as well as a few goodies to share. If you take something, please leave something behind. Get some information about 4-H from the cache if you'd like, too. Geocache is appropriately sized for Travel Bugs.
Geocache has been approved by Waukesha Parks and Rec representative Holly Glainyk, permit number 2017-4.
