A Louder Call for Volunteers Traditional Cache
bluet: The cache has disappeared since I checked it last Friday. This cache may appear in another incarnation later on but, for now, I think it is better archived. TYVM will remain in place until the start of hunting season so keep looking for those alien invaders!

The phone number given for David Dick on the Invasive Species cards
is incorrect. It should read 304 558 2212. This cache has been
moved to make it more accessible. Having used $17 dollars worth of
gas to get it and bring it home I can appreciate that Sutton Lake
was a little bit out of the way.
Our 2005 scouting season is now over and
our scouts have returned to school. We will still be happy to
check out invasive species reports based on this year's cards
and encourage you to contact us if you think you have found
something. There is currently one set of 2005 cards remaining
in the cache. When this is gone, we will not place new cards
there until next spring. The new cards will probably be a
little different. This cache will remain open through the
winter as a travel bug hotel. Keep caching! bluet
Invasive Species are plants, animals and diseases that, while not
native to North America, are able to thrive here. Because they
usually have no natural enemies in their new environment, they are
often able to out compete native species and thus pose a serious
threat to the environment. The West Virginia Department of
Agriculture, Plant Industries Division, is seeking volunteers in
the geocaching community to help fight the threat of Invasive
Species in our state. This cache contains 15 sets of laminated ID
cards with images and descriptions of Invasive Species of special
concern in West Virginia in 2005. It is possible that you will
encounter one or more of these Alien Invaders in your ramblings. An
early report of an infestation of one of the species can allow us
to eradicate it before it becomes established in West Virginia. If
you wish to help out, grab a set of cards from the cache and start
searching. We are only interested in reports from West Virginia. If
you believe you have spotted one of these invaders, mark the site
with your GPSr and, if possible, take a picture. Then post a note
to this Web Page or email bluet or Dave (ddick@ag.state.wv.us). We
will send a scout to investigate your report. If you succeed in
locating an invader, we will reward you with a First To Find
Certificate for the infestation (Suitable for framing.) and the
coordinates for our second cache, TYVM. Happy Hunting! A Call to
Volunteers is also a Travel Bug Hotel. Please feel free to drop off
or pick up a bug but please do not leave any other trade goods!
Please read the ID cards carefully as handling some organisms can
be unhealthy.
