Protecting wooden box?

Question

I made a little box out of wood about a foot by 6 inches with hinges so it could open, of memories of my dog who recently passed away. I made a hole in the ground of my woods so only the top is visible unless opened. Will it get ruined by rain, or insects, or any other thing? If so, how could i protect it?

Depends on what kind of wood you used to make the box with. If you used something like pine or any other soft wood it will not last very long. The weather conditions will cause it to rot. You could re-make it and use pressure treated wood that will last for several years. You can purchase pressure treated wood at about any lumber yard, Lowe's, Home Depot.
