The National Wildlife Federation and Ranger Rick magazine want to encourage families to spend more time having fun in the great outdoors.
Ranger Rick’s Geocache Trails are a great new way to inspire curiosity and learning about the natural world, while providing the satisfaction of seeking and finding hidden “treasure.” The program is designed to be fun for first-time or experienced geocachers.
Geocache trails allow land managers to provide a well-rounded experience for the geocacher. Hosting a Ranger Rick’s Geocache Trail can help attract new audiences, connect people with nature, offer a new kind of adventure at your facility, and show off your property!
- Ranger Rick’s Geocache Trails contain either 3, 5, or 8 geocaches to be hidden around your property, for geocachers to find.
- Each geocache on your trail will have its own web page on geocaching.com.
- Before setting out for their adventure, kids and parents will download your trail's coordinates to a GPS unit or smartphone from geocaching.com. There they will also download a Ranger Rick’s passport. When geocachers find one of your caches, they will sign Ranger Rick’s log book, found inside. Each geocache also features a Ranger Rick mystery. Cachers are asked to solve the mystery by stamping their passport. Additional “More to Explore” activities are included in each cache, as well as opportunities for trading.
- Geocachers can fill their passports by finding all of the geocaches along your trail.
- At the end of the adventure, kids and parents will log on to geocaching.com, post their finds, and share their experiences. Answers to the mysteries can be found online at RangerRickTrails.com.

Afraid of Losing Your Geocoin?

At GeoWoodstock this year, everyone who purchased an event geocoin also received a free proxy coin from GXProxy.com. The idea is that you keep your collectible event coin safe at home, and send out the proxy coin in its place. If the proxy gets lost or stolen, you can purchase a low-cost replacement and release it to resume its mission. Whether you buy a replacement or not, your original geocoin stays safe with your personal collection. This idea works for any geocoin that you have designed and would prefer to send out low-cost copies to share with others, rather than risking the loss of an original.Best of SLAGA 2025
