The Project: River Restoration
The goal of the Olentangy River Restoration Project is to rejuvenate areas of the river that hae become unhealthy and increase the riparian habitat that shelters the river. With the 2012 removal of a lowhead dam at Fifth Avenue, the Olentangy River is being restored to its natural width along Ohio State's Columbus campus, returning the river to its natural flow and improving the water's quality and its ecosystem. Floodplain areas have returned to their natural state, and wetland and riverbank habitats are filling with native plants and trees.

The Cache:
The quotes above are from a sign posted at ground zero of the cache. This is a busy pedestrian bridge, especially during Saturday's in the fall, so use your favorite geocaching stealth abilities. As always, please rehide as found. You will need to bring your own pen to sign the log.
NOT the Cache:
Apparently, someone placed a "private" cache near ground zero. This is NOT the right cache.
