CITO Across the World - One Day. Many Communities. A World of Difference.
Litter not only blights the environment & makes areas look untidy, it also affects natural habitats & wildlife.
Join us as we clean up the cycle track and surrounding area around Beamish and Shield Row.
Beamish and Shield Row CITO - Saturday 19th September 10am until 11.30am
Litter pickers and binbags will all be provided courtesy of Walk Wheel Cycle Trust.
Please bring along a pair of gardening gloves if you have them. It may also be useful to bring along a drink and a snack for yourself.
Please come along dressed for the weather with warm / waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear.
There are a number of parking spaces available in the Eden Place picnic area car park. Please park sensibly and considerately of other users.
This event will make a huge difference to the local area and really make the place nicer for people to cycle, walk and geocache in!
I hope to see you there!
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.
