The Coastal Issues
Committee of the Ecology
Action Centre had our first annual Earth Day CITO event on
Saturday, 24 April 2010, and it was a great success. We'd like to
thank all of those that attended the event. We've made this a
travelbug hotel so that we can spread the CITO spirit with each
trackable that makes it's way through the cache.
For our first year we chose a provincial park within the HRM that
is always in dire need of a clean-up. Long Lake
Provincial Park was an ideal location since it is surrounded
and partially bisected by busy secondary highways. It is also
trafficked by dog walker, hikers and geocachers alike, for its
beauty, history and ease of access. Its ease of access is also one
of its downfalls as the park has been, and in some places continues
to be, an easy dumping ground. Our clean-up was centered on the
peninsula north of the dam on the eastern shore of Long Lake,
adjacent to the Old Sambro Road (Highway 306). If you are planning
a reduced emission trip to the cache, there are 4 busses that can
bring you within a 2 minute walk; the 14 (Leiblan Park), 19
(Greystone), 20 (Herring Cove) and 32 (Cowie Hill). Don't forget
the "Trash Out" part of CITO as there always seems to be trash in
this area, environmental action is easy to make a part of everyday
life.
