Groveland Trails Day | April 26, 2014 | 1:00-4:00pm | Pines Recreation Area, Groveland The Open Space & Trails Committee will be hosting the Spring Trails Day on April 26th at the Pines Recreation Area in Groveland. Didn't know there were trails at the Pines? Never taken the time to walk the trails at the Pines? Come and experience one of the most scenic resources in Groveland along the bank of the Merrimack River. The event will introduce (or re-introduce) people to this small but valuable trail system and provide an opportunity for participants to assist with some much needed rehabilitation and clean-up on the trails. We invite people to come learn more about the various trails in town, trail stewardship and maintenance in town, and the efforts of the Open Space & Trails Committee. For those of you looking for an opportunity to get involved, we would welcome any level of participation. Come dressed ready to work, or just stop by and introduce yourself. Come out and play!
Announcing the 2014 CITO Weekend and Souvenir CITO Weekend April 26 and 27. Get ready for a classic win-win situation from the geocaching playbook: lend a hand to improve the geocaching game board (a local park, trail, or geocaching-friendly location) and earn the 2014 CITO souvenir. It’s easy and rewarding. It all happens during the 2014 CITO Weekend on April 26 and 27. Everyone who logs an “Attended” at a Cache In Trash Out (CITO) Event earns this year’s CITO souvenir for their Geocaching profile. So start planning your event now! During a CITO Event, geocachers search parks, trails and forests to earn a smiley—but they’re not looking for geocaches. They’re clearing litter and trash from geocaching-friendly areas around the world. On CITO weekend, thousands of geocachers will walk away from their events with bags of trash and a sense of pride. They’re preserving the natural beauty of our world. It’s often more than litter clean up. Some CITO events remove invasive species, plant trees or build trails. Join the geocaching community movement. CITO events are held all year long, but you’ll have plenty of events to choose from on April 26 and 27. Last year, over 13,000 geocachers from more than 30 countries combined in the annual worldwide environmental effort, which is tied closely with Earth Day. Share this CITO video, create a CITO event near you and gear up with CITO trash bags, trackables and more at Shop Geocaching. See you in April for the 2014 CITO Weekend!
