Leader’s Note: This is Skerries Walking Club’s third year to participate in the National Spring Clean Up. We are asking as many members as possible to come out on the day and help clean up our local area. 

Please Text Emer by Monday 22^nd April 11am if you intend going on the Clean Up walk. Bags, gloves and sanitiser will be provided. A limited number of litter pickers and Hi-Viz vests will be available. Please let the leader know when registering if you have your own litter picker. If you’d like to go for a coffee on the harbour afterwards, please bring a reusable cup. One name will be drawn from the list registered to receive a free reusable cup on the day.

An Taisce National Spring Clean is Ireland’s most popular, well recognized and successful anti-litter initiative. Taking place during the whole month of April and now in its 25th year, the campaign encourages every sector of society to actively participate and take responsibility for litter, by conducting clean ups in their own local environment. 

Clothing/Equipment: wear comfortable shoes and clothes, waterproof if possible. Bring gloves, sanitiser, and litter pickers if available. We will have a limited supply to share on the day. 

Leave No Trace: the club is a supporter of the Leave No Trace campaign so please ensure that you leave no litter (of any sort) on the route
