A conglomeration of two terms which creates a word that makes no sense.
Ecology + Geocaching ... How does someone Geocache Ecology anyway?

There is already a practice called "CITO," or "Cache-In, Trash-Out"

This implies that when someone visits a geocache, they voluntarily help clean up any litter in the area and put it in it's proper place.

So the "Acro-Speak" name for this practice may negate any need to concoct "EcoCaching."

EcoCaching provides GeoScouting Patrols (small groups) with a multi-cache experience where the 2nd leg requires use of basic map and compass skills from a GPS anchor site...

[A] At the 2nd cache, the patrol exercises LeaveNoTrace (LNT) practices by perfoming a a pre-selected "community stewardship" task that goes beyond "nominal" CITO efforts ...

[B] LNT results are digitally documented, then get submitted for "Learn & Share" drawings.

[C] "Learn & Share" drawing entries may be adapted for alternative community-building and
environmental learning tutorials to help demostrate positive examples of EnviroEthics ...
