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.

The Qatar geocaching community is invited to be a part of this global initiative on September 19, 2026 at Semaisma Beach any time from 5pm - 6 pm. There is ample free parking next to the mosque and playground. Construction just outside the parking area is ongoing so please allow a few extra minutes to navigate the barricades. As it will still be quite hot, please bring enough water and sun protection, as well as your own gloves and trash bags.
