Since 2002, CITO helped preserve the natural beauty of cache-friendly spaces. In that time, more than 363,000 people have volunteered at 18,000 events.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was earnest feedback from passionate members of the geocaching community which brought about this dynamic shift, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many parts of the world, one week within April and September simply isn\u2019t conducive to being outside and helping the environment. It\u2019s too dark, too cold, or too inhospitable in other ways for successful CITO events. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up to this time, many German geocachers haven\u2019t been able to organize Spring CITO events due to it coinciding with bird nesting season and off-limit times for many nature preserves. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, we want to offer more flexibility for geocachers to collaborate with local agencies on joint CITO projects. We believe by expanding the dates, this should allow geocachers more opportunities to partner with agencies such as nature preserves, parks departments, and non-profit organizations to improve the environment.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sounds great!
