Geocache Description:


Urban trees are a precious resource, and growing body of scientific evidence has demonstrated the health – and wealth – benefits of trees in cities. The University of Exeter is home to about 5000 trees of 328 different species.

Here at the posted coordinates are 5 wonderful poplar trees, and one used to have a large wooden label (placed by Treeconomics) about 2 metres up that detailed some of the benefits of these 5 trees. Treeconomics is a social enterprise dedicated to to working to understand how trees improve our urban spaces, making them better places to live.

As this informative label has now been removed (or stolen, perhaps?), I have added an image of the missing sign in the gallery to help you. I can't convert a multi-cache to a mystery cache, so this dodge will keep the cache going and enable you learn a bit about how wonderful trees are!

  • These 5 poplar trees store A.B tonnes of carbon.
  • They reduce storm water by C.D cubic metres a year.
  • They produce EFG kg oxygen annually.

The cache is a short walk away at N50 AE.(A+D)B(B-G) W3 EC.(B-A-C)(D+E+F)(G-B)

Checksum N=27, W=17

This is my 100th cache hide, and it appeals to my green sentiments.
