Spring Activity by Killarney Tidy Towns

This past Spring, KTT have been very active! We assisted Kerry Parents & Friends Association in the planting of a border of flowering plants and shrubs at Aras Padraig, Killarney, which encourage birds and butterflies. We also added yew and arbutus trees to the school arboretum at St Oliver's National School in Ballycasheen. We were delighted to meet with the students and teachers and learned all about their project for Bóthar and met several goats and chickens!

A number of clean-ups were performed with the help of KDYS Youth Reach and the local schools over the Spring months as part of on their participation in An Taisce Spring Clean.

May was all about our submission for the National Tidy Towns Awards. The first judging is expected any day, so please keep an eye on your local area for any stray rubbish or graffiti. We are always grateful for new volunteers - if you'd like to take part, please sent us a message through the 'Contact U
