Maple
The Moore Woodlands Avalonia Land Conservancy is located at the end of Capstan Avenue. As you approach the entrance, there are two stone walls on either side of the path. Locate corner of the left wall, and count two rocks toward the entrance. Behind a stone is where you will find your prize.
Norway Spruce
Starting from Maple Letterbox, continue walking into the Moore Woodlands and go ten spaces forward to the map of the property which will be on your right. Continue walking until you see a fork in the trail. Take the left trail. Continue walking until you see another fork in the trail. Take the right trail. Continue walking until you see a big spruce tree. On your right, there should be a bee box in front of a smaller spruce tree. Turn to your left and you will find a woodpile. Look in the woodpile and you will find your prize.
Golden Rod
From the Norway Spruce Letterbox, continue to follow the trail forward (do not turn around and go back the way you came). At the three way intersection, turn left. You will pass another bee box on your left. Enjoy the field of golden rod as you circle it. Continue straight along the trail, heading into a wooded area. Turn right and follow the blue blazes. Hop along the stones and mind the cabbage. The trail takes a sharp left turn. Look for the arrow blaze on a large rock. Hop over the wall, and turn around. In the wall to the left of the trail, hides your prize.
Japanese Barberry
From Golden Rod Letterbox, turn right and continue on the blue blazed trail. Pass over rocks, and along an arch with rock railings. Hop the rocks, and mind the cabbage. You might even spot deer tracks in the mud. Continue through a sea of cabbage. You come to some wood planks to help you through the muck. As you come down a slope, you will spot large boulders in your path. To the right of the path, before crossing the boulders; there is a patch of barberry. Look under it for your prize.
Wineberry
Starting from Japanese Barberry Letterbox, hop over the big rocks. After you have made it over, continue on the trail and go by a tree with staircase roots. After you climb the “stairs”, you will find a blazed tree that has fallen over on your left. (If you look straight ahead, you will see and hear cars.) Continue walking on the trail. When the trail turns, you will see a little stream with a rock bridge. Do NOT cross it. Stay at the rock wall and you will find a log that looks like a crocodile. Look to the right. There is a rock wall. If you look in there, your prize will be there.
Oak Tree
Starting from Wineberry Letterbox, go across a stone bridge. Continue on the trail and stop at two big pine trees that are on your right. If you look straight ahead, there is a big rock. Don’t worry, that is the trail so continue on. Next, if you look a little to your left, you will see a BIG tree. Go to the tree. You will notice that it grew onto a rock. Turn to the right. There is a rock wall. Go over to it but make sure you do not go beyond the big tree. In the rock wall, you will find your prize. (HINT: you will have to move a rock.)
