Saturday, August 18, 2012 Time: 10 am
Where: Finger Lakes Community
College Arboretum on Marvin Sands Drive off Lakeshore Drive south of Routes 5&20.
Meet at the parking lot across from the Arboretum.
Armed with a GPS for Geocaching
and a curiosity about tree varieties, Laura and Jeffery Ouimette have
discovered “Waymarking” as a means of identifying the locations of several
trees at the FLCC Arboretum. Please join us as we enjoy a leisure walk in and
around the FLCC Arboretum to identify specific trees using hand held GPS units.
(We plan to have several GPS units on loan from Wood Library). Please bring
along your tree and wildflower guides.
In Geocaching, it’s all about
the hunt and the treasure at the end. With Waymarking, the location itself is
the treasure. The primary difference is that no physical object is placed when
creating a Waymark. The focus is on what can be gained from the location
itself.
Waymarking.com provides tools
for you to catalog, mark, and visit interesting and useful locations around the
world.
