Every year our DCNR maintained waterways are stocked with big, beautiful trout so people can get out and fish. Unfortunately, so much sudden traffic in the outdoors inevitably means trash is left behind. This spring we'll have a chance to remove that impact and keep our park lands the pristine hiking terrain we love. But that's not all;
This year we can not only make a terrific impact, but also earn credit for placing caches on DCNR lands controlled from the Frances Slocum Luzerne County Park! DCNR personnel have been advised to either ask for $25/cache to cover the added expenses of maintaining environmental impact, extra trail maintenance from increased foot traffic and 3 years worth of continual monitoring.
The great news is that the Park Managers have also been encouraged to work with Geocachers to exchange hands-on help in exchange for cache placement. NEPAG will earn credit to place three geocaches for the 10th Anniversary event and one geocache for this CITO event! So, come on out and join us in beautifying NEPA outdoors and everyone wins 
1) Cleanup Begins at 9am (rain or shine)and the planned end time is 2pm.
2) If anyone has a truck or other vehicle and can help haul our harvest to the dump truck the park is providing, that would be great!
3) We'll meet at the Playground parking area where there will be coffee and doughnuts available. There are three areas we will be concentrating on and will split into groups after meeting at the parking area.
4) Bags will be provided at the meeting area.
5) Suggest tick spray.
6) Dogs are allowed in the park if on a leash.
Let's get out and make a difference, earn some credit and reward ourselves with new caches in some of the NEPA land we love! Please bring appropriate clothing including Gloves and water resistant footwear since one of the areas we'll be concentrating on is the shoreline and another has metal.
