Geocache Description:

The New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) is hosting a Summer Geo-Challenge in 12 NEFF-owned Community Forests throughout New England. NEFF is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the conservation and sustainable management of New England forestlands. It is our pleasure to share these forests with fellow outdoor enthusiasts! The Bliss Woods trail completes a 35 minute loop of easy terrain with minor inclines and some wet spots in the spring.

About the forest: Bliss Woods is an island of forestland in the middle of suburban house lots that was slated for subdivision and development itself in the late 1990’s. A group of conservation groups including the Freeport Conservation Trust, Norcross Wildlife Foundation, the Citizens of Freeport, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation helped NEFF acquire the property to halt the development and preserve a little bit of nature in the rapidly developing town.

The 86-acre woodlot is about a mile and a half from the shores of the Harraseeket River and Casco Bay. The woods are dominated by red oak, white pine, and red spruce. The property provides a variety of habitats for wildlife including mast-producing hardwood stands, mixed softwood stands for winter cover, flooded wetlands, and grassy openings. Bliss Woods also offers excellent recreational opportunities with the existing trail network and scenic qualities of the woods.

Enjoy the hunt!

NEFF is grateful to all the wonderful volunteers throughout New England who placed these caches and made the Summer Geo-Challenge possible. Thank you “Hoamdezinahs” for placing and care taking this cache in our Bliss Woods!!!
