Let's honor ARBOR DAY by doing some CITO work. This event will begin at 1:00 PM and end at 8:00 PM. Choose 1+ hours between 1:00 PM and 8:00 PM that is convenient for you. Please bring gloves and a small trash bag - kitchen or grocery size.

Cleanup will be along the old Erie Railroad grade, a hiking trail from Droney Road to Taintor Road. Please use separate bags for plastic, metal, glass, garbage. I will recycle and dispose of all collected materials.

You may park on Droney Road and CITO towards Taintor Road. Alternatively, you may park on Taintor Road and CITO towards Droney Road.

Enjoy caching during this CITO event. The bookmark lists caches near your CITO route.

When you have completed the CITO route, kindly go to the posted coordinates to drop off all collected materials and sign the log. Parking is limited, so please park close to each other. My neighbor has graciously allowed us to use space in front of his garage (white - double doors) as well as the turnaround space next to my garage (green trim). When you are finished, a challenge awaits you. Who will be brave enough to master the rings?!
