Litter clean up planned for Rockmarshall in Louth this weekend

To celebrate world earth day the Cooley Community Alert group are kicking off their first large clean of the year this Saturday, April 22nd in Rockmarshall from 12-3pm.

This annual event is run by the local An Taisce National award winning Peninsula Marine Litter Project who are bringing many other groups together on the day.

They start under the bridge opposite Fitzpatricks and work towards Lordship.

Already they have volunteers from the Louth Volunteer network attending alongside the local tidy towns groups and employees of businesses like PayPal and O'Connor roofing and they would be delighted to welcome other groups.

They would ask as many as possible to come and take part in a community event and network with others while cleaning the environment.

It's an excellent opportunity to educate children and suitable for all ages.

Bags, pickers and gloves are supplied.

The Community Alerts Quad and trailer will be used to being these back to a central point to limit any carrying by volunteers and again its suitable for all ages.
