Reconnecting with Nature through Geocaching

Vote to reconnect people with nature by promoting geocaching on public lands in the United States. America’s Great Outdoors Initiative is designed to gather ideas from the public on how to best conserve outdoor spaces and reconnect people with nature. We believe that geocaching is one of the best ways to accomplish the latter, and we hope that you agree. If you do, please encourage the US government to promote geocaching on public lands by clicking “Promote” on the left-hand side of this page. Please note that you must register to vote.

Not in the United States? Let us know how geocachers in your country are working with land managers to help reconnect people with nature-send an email to pr@groundspeak.com.
