LEES RD will be hosting a community clean up this Friday.
As part of a weekend of events which will culminate in Love This Place Day on Sunday, the Lees Rd clean up takes place on Friday between 10:00 am – 1:00 pm and will be led by Leave No Trace Trainers.
Leave No Trace CEO Maura Kiely said the Clare clean-up is just one of a number of activities to mark Love This Place Day by encouraging people to take a simple action that helps protect the natural environment and shows care and respect for outdoor spaces.
She said, “We want National Love This Place Day to become established in the calendar as an annual call out to inspire individuals, communities and organisation to take simple actions to actively respect and protect our wonderful outdoor spaces and natural environment. This weekend, culminating in Love This Place Day on Sunday, is a fantastic opportunity for everyone to show their enthusiasm and support for a movement for positive change in how we care for, and protect, the natural world and our outdoor public spaces”.
Members of the public have also been invited to enter a competition where the prize is a €150 gift voucher for the Great Outdoors. To enter, take a photo or video of their action for Love This Place Day, tag Leave No Trace Ireland and use the #LoveThisPlaceDay.
The competition will close on Sunday 28th July at midnight. A winner will be chosen from the entries.
National Leave No Trace Day is part of the 2024 Love This Place National Awareness Campaign which promotes responsible enjoyment of Ireland’s rich natural heritage of outdoor spaces and environment.
