Falls Brook Centre Launching Geocaching Program

This program has been discontinued. Information on it is for archive purposes only.

 

Since New Brunswick geocachers love their geocoins, and love the geocoin challenges, we’ve got another one to add to the mix.

Cache Up NB and the Falls Brook Centre are kicking off another cool geocoin challenge here in our great province. Much like many of the other programs we are sure you are already familiar with, this one will involve you finding a series of caches in and around the Falls Brook Centre located in Glassville, NB. You’ll be able to download a passport, print it off, and mark each geocache you find on the passport. Completed passports can then be submitted to the centre and a free trackable geocoin will be awarded. There are only 100 coins so be sure to get out and try this new challenge.

If you’re unfamiliar with the Falls Brook Centre, here’s a blurb from their website that talks about who they are and what they do:

Falls Brook Centre is a sustainable community demonstration and training centre in rural New Brunswick. Located in West Glassville on 90 acres of Acadian forest and farmland, it represents a balance between the two major economic drivers in the region – forestry and farming. Falls Brook Centre strives to promote exemplary sustainable practices in these two areas through organic gardens, orchards, forest trails and promotion of ecological certification. Other planned on-site installations include the reclamation of a wetland and restoration of Acadian forest species, solar and wind energy systems, herbariums, tree nurseries, non-timber forest product plantings for mushrooms and ginseng, and other restoration sites that will provide the basis for many outreach programs.

They have partnered with Cache Up NB to kickoff their new program through an event on October 18th. Similar to other kickoff events of the same kind, Cache Up NB and the centre’s staff will be onsite providing support to those who wish to come out and snag the caches and coins that day. The caches themselves will be published the night before but we will have the cache coordinates and passports available that day at the event. We will also be introducing others to the sport of geocaching and may even have loaner units available for newbies to try it out.

You can see the list of caches for this challenge at this bookmark.

The passport for this challenge can be downloaded from here.

  • Checked the map and that is new territory for us and very few caches in that area. Sounds like a great idea to have cachers discover a remote area of the province. Cant wait

  • Any chance the passports will be published ahead of time, so we can check the D/T etc before we decide to make the trip?

    • D/T is going to likely be nothing more than a 2/2. Passports will be made available once the caches have been hidden and that won’t be until the end of the month.

  • It’s beautiful countryside this time of the year especially.

  • This event is happening this weekend. Be sure to try and come out and support this new program. Here’s a peek at the coin you’ll be working for:

  • Looking forward to the Challenge in Glasswille.
