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. I was fortunate enough to be asked to host a CITO Around the World event this year.
About CITO Around the World - Miami Valley OH
We will meet at the Karohl Park Shelter from 9:30 AM - 10:30AM to pass out trash bags and latex gloves if needed.
It is September in Ohio so it could be hot and humid or cold and rainy, so dress for the weather. We will provide some water bottles for those who
need some. There is a playground near the shelter for the little ones.
