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 year is currently at almost 300 events!
I thought it would be nice to add Metro Vancouver to the CITO Across The World map. So here we are...
This is a straightforward Litter clean up in the park of the headwaters of Cougar Creek.
Please bring gloves and a picker if you have one. I'll bring a few tongs, gloves and trash bags.
The terrain for this one will mostly be on the level. Although there is one area where the adventurous can mosey down the slope creek side if there is any trash down there to collect.
