The official cito event has been around Earthday in the past. Now, maybe the snow will be gone by then!!!

The farmer gave permission to place the cache in the field, but the bull charges.
Sorry you guys always have to answer all my newbie questions...but here goes. On CITO day, does the group chose certain areas and make it into an event or do people go out on their own or both?
Mainiac1957 usually sponsors an annual spring CITO event, taking part in the annual Brewer/Bangor River Cleanup Day.
Other than that, I know GCM.org members have hosted CITO events, but not sure if they have been in conjunction with CITO Day.
Happy Trails!

Yes, their event was 4/19. Fortunately the weather was beautiful but that is not always the case in Maine mid-April as some of us know. I do not know how that coincided with Earth Day last year.
DeLorme was the corporate sponsor last year with Geocaching.com. They did not do the sponsorship of tee-shirts like Jeep did the year before. It was their first event, too. I bet they will probably do another one this year.
Anyone can sponsor a CITO event - just read the guidelines - plan an event - publish it - and help the earth.
I would not mind helping out with one if we can make it.
