A twist on the standard WLC format. This time, we'll be doing a CITO, followed by a BYOL (bring your own lunch) picnic.
Who: You
WHERE: Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve, Mahomet
WHEN: April 26th, 2014 @ 8:30 A.M.
WHY: To help clean-up and preserve our nature preserves
OTHER: Please bring your own work gloves if you have some. Also, bring food for the mini-picnic after.
Come out to the Lake of the Woods Forest Preserve in Mahomet for a fun morning of CITO (Cache In Trash Out) to help preserve nature, and earn the 2014 CITO Weekend Souvenir Icon. We will be working at 8:30 am, followed by a BYO mini-picnic after.
It all happens during the 2014 CITO Weekend on April 26 and 27. Everyone who logs an “Attended” at a Cache In Trash Out (CITO) Event earns this year’s CITO souvenir for their Geocaching profile. So start planning your event now!
During a CITO Event, geocachers search parks, trails and forests to earn a smiley—but they’re not looking for geocaches. They’re clearing litter and trash from geocaching-friendly areas around the world. On CITO weekend, thousands of geocachers will walk away from their events with bags of trash and a sense of pride. They’re preserving the natural beauty of our world. It’s often more than litter clean up. Some CITO events remove invasive species, plant trees or build trails.
Join the geocaching community movement. CITO events are held all year long, but you’ll have plenty of events to choose from on April 26 and 27. Last year, over 13,000 geocachers from more than 30 countries combined in the annual worldwide environmental effort, which is tied closely with Earth Day.
Hope to see you all there!
