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 would love it if you'd join me in this cool project! I got permission from West Jordan City to do a walk around clean up of this large park. I'll plan on bringing plastic bags - bring your own grabbers. For the CITO, let's meet at the the parking lot on the east side. I realize this is pretty early in the morning (I wanted to make sure we were done cleaning up before the soccer fields started getting used)... Just come to what you can - any bit helps! 
If you'd like to stick around, after the CITO there will be a meet/greet/thank you event at the pavilion in the park.
