What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is like a treasure hunt in which you use advanced mapping skills and Global Positioning Systems’ support to locate the positions of special ‘targets’. Geologists use this technology in their daily work to develop maps for engineering and environmental projects as well as to display geologic and environmental data.

How do I get the locations (coordinates)?

We’ll provide the first location (coordinates) here on the website (see above), beginning at 3 pm (and at our south building entrance). When the first target is found, it will provide some very interesting facts about Indiana Geology and Environmental science, and will also have the coordinates for the next target. Find all 5 targets (which should take about 1 hour by foot), and then you will be given the final coordinates of the “Geologic Treasure Trove” to collect your prizes! Special prizes will be awarded to any earth and environmental science teachers who send their students.

What do I need?

Download a GPS app your cell phones or tablet. Wear comfortable walking shoes (all coordinates will be found by foot).

Reduce Erosion and Preserve Topsoil

Land degradation has increased around the world as our human activities pollute or degrade the quality of soil, affecting not only food production but the overall ecosystems. What can we do locally to preserve our soil?

  • Rotate the crops you grow in your garden.
  • Use local mulch, especially in bare stops to help plants ground and prevent water runoff.
  • Plant large plants such as trees and hedges to reduce wind speed.
  • Minimize soil compaction by create permanent walkways and encouraging people to stay on them.
