Check back here for more information and updates as time goes on. We would like to invite those who are completely new to geocaching and who have never been to an event and want to find out more about our organization and how it helps geocaching and geocachers in our state. Arkansas Geocachers Assocation is a Non-Profit group of volunteers who's main mission is to promote and improve the quality of geocaching in Arkansas. ArkGeo is committed to work with the Arkansas State Parks system, Arkansas Game & Fish Commission, National Forestry Service, Boy Scouts of America, and others to encourage Arkansans to discover and enjoy the scenic outdoors through geocaching! So grab your smartphone or GPS and join us for some fun, learning, and education at the Nature Center.
Directions to the Nature Center and locations of public parking areas around it can be found here @ Directions and Parking
Free parking can be had at the Clinton Library and take the shuttle for free to a destination right beside the nature center entrance/walkway. Info can be found here:
Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. with a full day of activities.
ArkGeo members who attend this event will receive 50 reward points.
We hope everyone will come join us for a very fun time at the Nature Center and look over their exhibits and enjoy downtown little rock
