Geocache Description:

This is a walk through the Serpentine Wildlife Area. It consists of extensive freshwater marshes, and a tidal brackish water marsh important to wildlife populations, including birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects. The wildlife and habitats of SWA can be experienced via the many kilometres of trails, some with dense hedgerows. There are three covered viewing towers. Don't forget your binoculars!


You must pick up six clues (A to F) at five waypoints on the way to the cache. Be sure to bring along a calculator, as some math will be necessary to find the cache location.
