Come join Southern Oregon Geocaching as we work with the Bear Creek Stewardship to clean up Lynn Newbry Park in Talent!

WIth CITO week upon us, we at SOGeo wanted to reach out to local groups and seek out the best places that our help would be utilized.  We learned that the Bear Creek Stewardship is hosting 7 different check-in areas along the Bear Creek Greenway where they are aiming to tackle large projects.  We figured this would be a perfect chance for us to help out and make a difference!

The following information has been provided to us by the Bear Creek Stewardship for the cleanup event:

Time:
Check-in 8:30-9:00 AM. Clean Up 9:00 to 12:00 PM 
Participants should return tools and equipment to the check-in booths where they started.

How to Dress and the right Footwear:
Sturdy shoes, closed toe water shoes, hiking boots, rubber boots that allow both walking and potentially wading into muddy or calm water areas. 

Weather and temperature can vary: suggest wearing layers, with long pants to prevent abrasions and long sleeve light shirt to protect from plants and sunshine. Something warmer on top of your long sleeve shirt until the sun warms the air.
