I have stayed on the sidelines on this one but now I thought would respond…..
Even though stump hides are very popular, one must be careful on hiding a cache there as well as finding a stump cache. For example, we need to watch out for any signs of nature. Some fuzzy critters will use these stumps for protection and even build nests in some of the stumps.
I know this sounds like I am being a wild flower with this post, but I need to post on the side of conservation. Destroying a stump, rather it be on public or private property is not right. I feel that should not be done. However, I am not saying you can or cannot hide or look for a cache in stumps.
What I am saying is that we need to be careful as cachers not to disturb the environment.
This is my 2 cents worth…..
