At the request of many geocachers and after talking with the President of the Flushing Meadow Park Conservancy we are going to clean up around Meadow Lake and give Willow Lake a break.
The 14th Annual Cache In Trash Out is September 17 – 25, 2016. In case you haven’t heard, CITO stands for Cache In Trash Out. It’s the geocacher’s approach to keeping our game board (i.e. the entire planet) in great shape. Geocachers around the globe will gather together, pick up trash, remove invasive species, repair trails and more—plus earn a pretty sweet new souvenir. Wear comfortable shoes, and bring work gloves. Trash bags & refreshments will be provided At 95 acres, Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park is the largest fishable freshwater body in New York City. Meadow connects to 45-acre Willow Lake, currently not open to fishing. Meadow Lake is tidally influenced through a connection to Flushing Bay via Flushing Creek and a network of culverts passable by fish. This connection has led to a high number of American eels and white perch in Meadow Lake, both of which are found in marine waters and can tolerate both fresh and saltwater. Other salt-tolerant species of fish found during DEC Fisheries surveys include Atlantic tomcod, gizzard shad, alewife and inland silverside. This CITO event is being conducted in conjunction with the Flushing Meadow Corona Park Conservancy.
