Congratulations! You found a Discover the Forest trackable!

Take this Discover the Forest trackable and move it from cache to cache as you explore new trails whether they are in your neighborhood or on a family vacation far from home.

Spending time outdoors has incredible benefits for children. It is known to enhance creativity; improve attention span; and increase problem-solving abilities, yet only 59 percent of parents report regularly or occasionally visiting a forest or park with their families. Experience all nature has to offer by searching for a Discover the Forest trackable at a geocache near you. This Discover the Forest trackable is provided by Discover the Forest, an initiative from the U.S. Forest Service and the Ad Council. This campaign aims to encourage parents and caregivers to help their families reconnect with nature by experiencing it first-hand. Learn more and get involved in the Discover the Forest campaign at DiscoverTheForest.org.

About This Item

#DISCOVER the FOREST

This trackable is part of the promotion put on by “Discover the Forest + Geocaching.”  1,500 interested geocachers were randomly selected to receive a trackable.  This is one of those trackables!

This trackable is dedicated to my sister-in-law Betty.  Betty has taught me and many others how to DISCOVER the FOREST.  She took me and other members of my family to the Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in northern Minnesota.  She taught us about wilderness camping and ethics.  She made the trips fun with songs and games.  

Betty has a goal to make 50 trips to the BWCAW.  So far she has made 47 trips.  She even made it last summer after suffering a heart attack in April.  Betty, may you reach your goal and then some!  

This trackable is released on a special day in honor of Betty.

I thought this would be a good spot for this trackable. It seems like the geocache is out here have not been touched in over a year. Hopefully this brings some people out to this beautiful trail system.
Retrieve It from a Cache 12/27/2023 Skarkas99 retrieved it from carda1's Silver Ammo Can Wisconsin   Visit Log

I am thinking a great place for this to go would be Seymour Wisconsin. There is a wonderful trail system along the Eau Claire river, I think it would be a great new home for this trackable.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 12/4/2022 Trekkin' and birdin' grabbed it   Visit Log

Trekkin' found this on the trail while doing maintenance on some of our caches. We'll find a nice place to get it back in action for you.
Write note 11/25/2022 Trekkin' and birdin' posted a note for it   Visit Log

Today while doing a maintenance run on our caches in Eagle Bluff Park I noticed something shining in a hole of a tree that was serving as a beacon for our newer hide: Take A Hike #1 Along The Red Apple Rocks Trail (GC9J2Y3), that replaced AMS 4 Quarry View when we archived it sometime ago. Upon pulling out the cable we noticed held a nontrackable and TB tag. I continued to dig in the rotted hole and discovered this Travel Bug as well along with several swag items, an old log sheet in a baggie, and the base of the previously archived cache. So I am happy to report that your Travel Bug is in our hands and that we will move it along in the near future. Trekkin'
