The Harpswell Select Board approved a request to make The Giant Stairs an official earth caching geological site. The board was hesitant because members were worried about increased foot traffic, overcrowding and parking access. The board had a change of heart once the land committee reviewed the proposal, putting the board at ease that risk of negative impacts was low. Unlike geocaching, earth cachers simply find the site and take notes and answer questions about its features.
