As a Community Wildlife Habitat, Camano Islanders have made a
commitment to the natural wonders of the island by ensuring that
the wildlife essentials are provided. The project benefits the
wildlife by protecting, enhancing or restoring wildlife corridors
throughout the island. It also benefits the individuals in the
community who choose to live and work on Camano because of its
natural beauty.
The project is a community endeavor with individuals joining in
the project one yard at a time.
Besides the private residences, Camano has four demonstration
gardens for the public to gather ideas for their own backyards.
- Four Springs Lake Preserve
- The Camano Senior and Community Center
- Elger Bay Nature Preserve
- The Al Emerson Trail at Camano Island State Park
These areas offer guidance on identifying plants and using native
plants.
Elger Bay Elementary School, a certified schoolyard habitat,
connects to the Elger Bay Nature Preserve trail and provides an
extensive outdoor classroom for the children during the school
day.
Park on Dry Lake Rd. and walk across Elger Bay Rd. Entrance to
the trails is a short distance south.
Cache location has been moved slightly to reduce wear on native
plants.
No need to leave the trail.
Next to a fallen log.
If you find the cache hide it as well as you found it with
appropriate geo-stuff.
Have fun and as always beware of snooping eyes.
It is always a good idea to have a writing instrument with you.
Finally, please let me know if there are problems with either the
cache or its coordinates.
Please leave only quality swag.
