This is an easy Park and Grab style of geocache at St. Albert Conservation Area. This is a boat launch, and a great area to launch from if you are interested in going for a paddle or boat ride after finding the geocache.
The urban forest is where most of us go to work, socialize with friends and family, and go home at night. It’s the trees in our public parks, along roadsides, and our neighbours’ yards. Often, the trees and shrubs found in our urban areas are our closest interaction with woodlands on a daily basis, and are key contributors to local forest cover.
The placement of urban forests has many environmental, economic, and social benefits. Trees and shrubs actively remove harmful pollutants from the air we breathe, store carbon inside the tree, release oxygen into the atmosphere, and provide wildlife habitat in urban centres.
