Thank you for the comments. I agree about the need to word things in a positive manner -- we try to do that for other park issues such as dogs (of course no one doesn't pick up after their dog! ) I will track down a local caching group and get some guidance from them. -bramblerose

I have a general question about caches in parks, but from a municipal perspective. I work in the communications department for a Lower Mainland (BC) city and have been asked to design new signage (kiosk, trail markers, brochure, etc.) for a large, forested park. As a cacher I know there are caches there, but as a municipal worker I know other staff (incl managers) are probably not terribly aware of caching. Another less remote park in our jurisdiction has probably 20 or more caches... Firstly I would like to educate my fellow employees about caching so they have a positive understanding of it, before a negative issue arises. And secondly, I am considering introducing caching to the kiosk signs -- as part of the rules (dogs, bikes, no fires, etc.). Perhaps something along the lines of welcoming cachers but reminding them of the rules of geocaching (no bushwacking, no burying, no food in caches, etc.). Does anyone have any thoughts on something like this?
