Geocache Description:

A medium length hike of approx. 600 metres from the parking/trailhead coordinates leading to a regular size cache in Turner Tract, a part of the Halton Regional Forest Management Plan.

The Regional Municipality of Halton currently owns 665.72 ha (1,645 acres) of forests on 14 separate tracts of land. The Halton Regional Forest was one of several Agreement Forests in Ontario previously managed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. However, with the expiry of the management agreement, Halton Region has assumed responsibility for its management. Most of the forest tracts fall within the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area, designated a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO.
Thirteen of the 14 Halton Regional Forest tracts are located above the Niagara Escarpment in the Flamborough Plain physiographic region. Only the Coulson Tract is located below the Niagara Escarpment in the Peel Plain physiographic region.
This is a approx. 1L container located approximately 10 meteres from the nearest Trail in the Halton Regional Management Plan Turner Tract and will be part of a future larger multi-cache project called the Halton Forest Management Areas Multi-Agreement Series. Each stage is a standalone cache and may be treated as such. If you wish to find the future final cache, you must collect the secret from each of the stage caches ( in any order but remember which cache the secret came from). You should log this cache as normal, but be sure to get the cache secret located on the inside of the cache lid in order to participate in the future multi-cache. Please be sure it is hidden well after putting it back in it's hiding spot. When cache initially placed it contained the usual assortment of trinkets, log book, pencil, etc.
