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. There will be a volunteer appreciation barbecue in August for those who wish to attend.
Cache In Trash Out is an ongoing environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community. 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 Spring Cache In Trash Out Events on April 22nd to April 30th, 2017.
Event Time: 10:00 AM to noon on April 23rd. Meet at the parking lot West of Fort Whoop-Up (see additional waypoint) to register, sign the logbook, and sign a waiver. The group will then proceed across the pedestrian bridge to the clean-up location.
