Geocache Description:

Cache is at the listed coordinates and placed with permission of the land owner.
 


    There is a cache in New Jersey that required the word tree to be in the cache name to qualify.   Another, in New Brunswick, requires names of trees found in Canada.  I thought it would be fun to combine the two, so to qualify for this challenge you must have found 10 caches that are  “trees”.  Here are the do’s and don’t’s:

Do’s:
1. Archived caches are fine.
2. Specific trees are fine.
3. The word tree,wood, grove, or forest may be used (one time for each).

Don’ts:
1.You may not use a cache more than once. (pine, Spruce or birch, which one ? will only count for one of the trees)
2.You may not use a part of a tree. (No branch, twig, leaf, stump, etc.)
3.You may not count the plural or other forms of the word a second time (either wood, woods, or woodland, but not all three)
