In Lethbridge, we are fortunate to have a beautiful river valley bisecting our community. Our river valley is a diverse natural environment that offers a variety of opportunities to enjoy nature. There are a number of geocaches placed throughout the river valley that allow us to explore the various areas of this unique part of our city.
The Coulee Clean-Up, coordinated by the Helen Schuler Nature Centre, is a volunteer-driven initiative aimed at removing garbage from our natural environment. Waste materials such fast food packaging, plastic bags and construction debris are unsightly and not good for wildlife habitat or waterways. Our assigned area is the lower portion of Bull Trail Park.
Cache In Trash Out is an ongoing environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Annually, International Cache In Trash Out events are celebrated where geocachers have an opportunity to participate in coordinated worldwide clean-up efforts. This event is being held in conjunction with the 14th Annual Cache In Trash Out Events on April 25th and April 26th, 2014.
