An Taisce Spring Clean Month events in Midleton

Midleton Tidy Towns is organising a coordinated National Spring Clean week for 5 days in the week of Monday 23 to Friday 27 April next.

A concerted effort will be made to clean up the entire Owenacurra Estuary from the Pontoon Walk behind Aldi; from the Dwyers Road side to the Ballyannan Wood shoreline
and across to the Bailick Road shoreline.

Both CBS Transition Year Students and St Mary's girls will be helping to clean up litter and debris on each day from 9.30am for 2 hours. The meeting point each day is at the Public Park (Seven Hills) on the Bailick Road.

Adult volunteers are needed to supervise the school groups each day and we are appealing to local residents to come and help. Please bring suitable all weather clothing and wellingons or boots. Gloves, vests and bags will be provided.

The Owenacurra River and Bailick estuary are part of the larger Cork Harbour complex which is an internationally renowned wintering area for many waders and wildfowl as well as a Special Protected Area (SPA). It also encopasses several Special Areas of Conservation (SAC).  

Local An Taisce representatives will also be on hand to assist us with this project.

School groups and other volunteers of all ages are welcome to come and help.
