One Day. Many Communities. A World of Difference.
A little over 2 years ago georeyna a geocacher in Houston, TX asked a simple question - What could happen if geocachers around Texas came together on one day to make their communities cleaner? Based on that simple question, Texas Geocaching Association (TXGA) created an event named CITO Across Texas in conjunction with World Cleanup Day.
Geocachers throughout Texas held cleanup events on the third Saturday in September. Each event is locally organized, but together they became part of something much bigger. CITO Across Texas was born!
The results have been tremendous. During 2024 and 2025:
- More than 50 CITO events were held across Texas.
- More than 700 volunteers participated.
- Thousands of pounds of trash were removed from parks, trails, waterways, neighborhoods, and other public spaces.
In 2026, we want to take the next step and we are inviting the worldwide community of geocachers to help clean up our game board.
Join me at Sand Creek Park on Saturday, September 19 to help make the world a cleaner place.
Time: 2:00 - 3:30 PM
We will clean up trash on the playgounds, around the baseball fields and on the trails.
The city of Coon Rapids will provide some grabbers and gloves, but bring your own if you have them.
Water and bags will be provided.
Let’s clean up our communities—and the world—one CITO at a time.
