Geocache Description:



Where: Avon River
When: Thursday 20 September
Time: 5pm-6pm (duration 1 hour)
 
We will be visiting Christchurch and what better way to contribute than to help to clean up the area.  Meet at the posted co-ords and we will distribute garbage bags to collect any litter lying around the river. Rug up, wear gloves and bring a water bottle.  
Not only will you receive a smiley, you will also receive a digital souvenir for CITO Week.
 
Christchurch City Council guidelines for working alongside a waterway: •Take care around slippery or steep banks, and watch tidal conditions. •Do not clear away any natural debris (e.g. branches, leaves, mud) from rivers or streams without approval from Council. These are often habitat for local birds and wildlife. •Do not walk in streams or waterways for your clean up. There are obvious safety issues with going in the water; please talk to us first. •Do not walk in shallow streams (e.g. Heathcote, Avon) during trout spawning times (May to September).
