This cache is located in the Sand Point Nature Preserve, which is owned and maintained by the Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy. This cache was placed with the permission of, and in collaboration with, SBLC personnel.
Look about you and don't let yourself get between a rock and a hard place, the cache is nearby. But beware, if you sit on the bench and watch the sun go down over the pond, the best view to find this cache will be behind you, maybe 20 feet or so...
No bushwhacking. Please stay on the marked trails. Please be respectful of the area. The SBLC has been very generous in opening the nature preserve to caching. Let’s make sure we do our best to take care of the area.
Comprised of mostly wetlands (over 50%), the preserve is the last large undeveloped parcel on Sand Point. It provides an important habitat for migrating birds, serves as an estuary and nursery for Saginaw Bay fish, and contains rare species of concern, such as the bald eagle and marsh wren. A great variety of birds, animals, insects, plant life and fish make their home on the Sand Point Nature Preserve and its waters.

A little bit about the SBLC
The Saginaw Basin Land Conservancy works to maintain the quality of life in the Saginaw Bay Watershed through the preservation of important wetlands, waterways and land of all types.
Many of the lands they focus on are home to wetlands, which provide many benefits, including preservation of water quality, reducing sediment entering rivers and the bay, providing a barrier to erosion along shorelines, helping with flood protection, and providing the beginning of the food chain.
