Belle Isle Fall Cito Cache In Trash Out® Event

This clean up will be open to all geocachers and the public that may join in to help, please make them feel a part of our community.

Thank you to Michigan Department of Natural Resources for allowing caching to continue on Belle Isle. This is the 15th year of the bi annual Geocaching CITO event here. Once again we will be joining with the folks from The Belle Isle Nature Center to work clean up on the east end of the island.

Meet us at the nature center by 10:00 am. Clean up begins about 10:30 sharp, and we will work until 12:30 pm. Due to ongoing Covid concerns we will be holding off on our pot luck lunch. If you would like to use the Nature Center it will be necessary to complete a Covid screening and your temperature taken to enter the building.

Like all CITO events you should be sure to bring old clothes for the clean up and a change of clothes for afterwards if needed. We hope that some of our friends, family, scout troops etc… will come to help out as all are welcome and needed.

Be sure to bring those things that can make the job easier for you. Some of the things you may want to bring with you is; sturdy gloves, boots, and most important is 5 gallon buckets as they work very well for sharp or glass items. I have personally purchased 20 heavy duty mechanical trash pickers that will be available as well as some that the Detroit Nature Center has on hand. Trash bags will be provided by the nature center.

To enter Belle Isle State Park you will need either a Michigan State Park Passport or a day pass. Residents are $17.00 per year, non residence is $34.00 per year and the daily pass is $9.00 per day.
