Geocache Description:


A study of 500 plants and animals across Europe has revealed that events associated with the beginning of Spring,such as flowering and leafing of plants, are now appearing 6 to 8 days earlier, than 30 years ago. Here in Britain we have seen an even more dramtic change with Spring events occurring 10 days earlier. Temperature increases could see British woodlands growing Olive Trees and Vines, whilst new species of Birds, Insects and Moths could colonize our woods. So do we need to ask the question "Are The Seasons All To Pot?"
