Join us for an educational workshop by local geocacher reforestgrrl to increase your enjoyment of caching by knowing more about the forest around you. She will discuss the guidelines of cache placement in the forest, placement ideas, forest etiquette, tree identification, and unique trees in Oregon that have caches at or near them. Afterward, we will do some story sharing of caching adventures in the forest. We are lucky to live in the Pacific Northwest, where we have an abundance of these wonderful trees!
