RTE’s Teresa Mannion visited Kilteevan and The Cloonlarge Loop on Wednesday April 24^th 2019,

The purpose of the visit was to highlight the Department of Culture and Heritage’s invitation to Community Groups to apply for funding to help conserve raised bogs.

Kilteevan’s Cloonlarge Loop benefited from funding under a pilot initiative in 2018.

The work of Kilteevan Tidy Towns and inclusion of the walk in the recent Roscommon Co Council publication,  Roscommon Walks Booklet has led to a huge increase in the number of people walking  the route .

 Kilteevan Tidy Towns is delighted to see so many people noticing and enjoying our natural heritage. 

 Awareness of  biodiversity on unique raised  boglands is undoubtedly raised,

Take time to look at the magnificent work of local Roscommon artist Rita Oates in ETL Craft Roscommon,

This particular  greeting card titled Landscape evokes the message we are trying to convey on the Cloonlarge Loop.

The landscape holds us…rest there…see the greens of kindness…the roots of hope…

Well done Rita, keep up the wonderful work.
