In our conversation with him, he said the Land Trust was aware of geocaching and knew of a few caches that had been placed on land held by the Kennebec Land Trust. He said they had never been contacted for permission before and was greatful we had done so. His only request was that no caches be placed in sensitive areas or in places that would cause people to pass through sensitive areas.
Anyone who has a cache within the boundaries of any of the Kennebec Land Trust areas, please think about how it was placed and if in an area that might be sensitive (whether it be low lying and wet or in an area where there are some plants that are uncommon) take time to remove it so that we don't get a bad name and lose access to these great trail systems here in Kennebec County.
A few years back I worked with the KLT when I lived in waterville, Brdad and I even mapped the trails for mt. pisgah for them. I kept them updated about the caches on the KLT (which did have permission by the KLT) Mapachi has also worked with them quite a bit and has some of his own caches on KLT land. We even had to have a few removed because they were in sensitive areas. They're good people to work and have always been pretty reasonable with cachers that placed caches on their property without knowing they were on KLT lands, we would contact the cacher and meet with them or check on the cache to make sure it was in an OK spot. I haven't done much with them in the last few years since I moved, but glad to see they're still willing to work with cachers.
