Welcome to the Yorkshire in Bloom Platinum award winning York Cemetery, the home to all kinds of Flora & Fauna, this will be a different style and pace of CITO for us.

We love a good CITO and we've done some amazing work here over the years with the help of Geocachers near and far, so for our third CITO of the year we are going to be doing something we've never undertaken here before.

As you know York Cemetery is beautiful Garden cemetery, where you can come, take a seat and let your stress and worry wash away in the amazing verdant surroundings.

What we'd like you to do is give those seats a bit of a spring clean and oil up, ready for the summer

We have approx. 30 benches around the Cemetery and we are looking to tackle around half of them this month

Please read the following section carefully, it contains important information for anyone considering coming to this event.
