A Geocaching Event to give back to the community hosted by
Mach2003!
"Cache In Trash Out is an ongoing environmental
initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Since
2002, geocachers have been dedicated to cleaning up parks and other
cache-friendly places around the world. Through these volunteer
efforts, we help preserve the natural beauty of our outdoor
resources!" (Geocaching.com).
The City of Kelowna Adopt a Stream program
encourages organizations to make a commitment to our environment.
Healthy streams, even very small ones, are an asset to our
community. Streams and stream corridors provide 85% of our wildlife
species with habitat and also provide valuable spawning and rearing
areas for fish. They indirectly affect our drinking water and have
a large influence on recreational water quality.
The BCGA has committed to this area for two years so look forward
to future CITO events.
A sign has been placed at the site telling everyone that BC
Geocachers are maintaining the stream!
The group will meet at the Parkinson Rec Center
and clean up and down the creek.
Terrain rating of 1.5, due to the creek being 1 meter below grade
for the entire area.
Bring drinking water, and wear long pants and good shoes.
Gloves, bags and tools to be supplied by the City of Kelowna.
This event is sponsored by the British Columbia Geocaching
Association.
