In the current forest Info (4 / 2010) the State Forestry Rheinland-Pfalz, already two articles about geocaching. It could have been more appropriate not really expose ...
In the article by D. Black (FA Saarburg) the opportunities that Geocaching has illuminated. A new approach to nature that we all wish so, the early introduction especially of children, away from the PC and computer games, etc. There are some basics explains how geocaching works and runs, and there is the call that the forester in touch should seek to geocachers in the region. I see a unique opportunity that must perceive it ... and gave the region it already positive signs of this in the context of events, seminars and nature-friendly transformation of caches that would otherwise have led to problems. Mind you these were not archived but it was the common goal of providing an experience which is also related to the needs of nature in harmony.
R. Ball (FA Koblenz) writes of his on the "Field of Fame at Alken experiences. Forest workers and hunters are more and more aware of the many geocachers graze in the rapidly increasing number of the forests. So far so good, but on closer examination reveals quickly that 12 of the 80 FOF caches are located on the Directed hunting area and the numerous visits to the problem. One of them, after all, a tree-T5er was on a Saturday alone visited seven times, mostly of little nature enthusiasts who are cited in the Rhein-Zeitung as "technologically adept and movement lazy" and would like to contact the cache go far away from parking lots and public streets .
Certainly, these are two views of flat-rate now a very heterogeneous phenomenon. But as already mentioned, I do not know a more fitting representation of our hobby similar to a few pages, as the two article, the different perception of geocaching and geocachers to the point. On the one hand, the opportunities but the price ... With the growth increasing problems arise that would not occur on rare visits Sun In principle, nothing wrong to walk through the woods. But as soon as repeatedly happens in mass, and / or sensitive locations, at least then we will definitely be a problem. Cache Owner have an increasingly heavy responsibility and must in the design of the cache in addition to selection of location, container , and so superior to also indicate which visit frequency could arise over the years and, if necessary to make contact with local media. A well-functioning community helps to identify problems and to bring in the good cooperation. Some may think that you so well can never place a cache. I know in about a dozen cases in the region, have been discussed with various local media, but there was not such a case!
I help also in 2011 continue to demand you to create one of the caches and, if the contact with local promoters, such as the country's forests. We may also create new iteration of the Trassemer events in the new year ...
