This month GEOregon is hosting two CITOs. Join us as we pick up trash and litter along the Highway 47 trail. You may remember this location from the June event. It was so successful that Parks and Recreation asked if we could go the other direction on this pathway. Join us as we make a difference!
We will meet at Elm and work our way towards Pacific Ave. It may start out at Nightmare on Elm Street but we will clean this up in no time!
Bring:
• Grabber (if you have one)
• Walking shoes
• A smile
Provided:
• Extra grabbers and trash bags
• Reflective safety vests courtesy of Forest Grove Parks & Rec
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.
Let’s clean up our communities—and the world—one CITO at a time.
