[GeoStL] Re: Condition of cache area

-
As everyone knows, I AM a tree hugger and I completely agree with you about
the area around the cache.  Another related concern is some people just look
at the area they place a cache in to see if there are issues with causing
damage.  But you need to look at the area people will be looking not just
where the cache is.

I am not sure if putting something on every cache page would do it.  It may
become background noise.  I think we should have a talk at each of our
gatherings about these issues and the importance of not messing areas up.
When we are out in groups we should also stress a land protection ethic.  If
we don't they will not want us.
