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.
This is the Kern County Event for CITO Across the World. We will bring the trash bags and grabbers, you just bring your walking shoes and gloves. We will meet at Philip Marx Central Park at 10 AM. Then we will walk around town a bit grabbing trash as we go and clean up the park. You can come and go as you please, but we will definitely be done by noon.
This CITO also qualifies you for the Cache In Trash Out® (CITO) Season 2 souvenir! So join thousands of other Geocachers from across the world on the same day with the same mission. We hope to see you there.
