Since 8.00 am this morning (2 May 2015), Kilteevan Tidy Towns volunteers are busy bringing about change in our community. Getting to today's stage involved a lot of hard work, plannning and  preparation. Health and safety issues also had to be taken on board.

This type of commitment on a bank holiday weekend, in inclement weather, is to say the least, heart-warming and inspiring.  Keep up the wonderful work.

Thank you to everyone in the community who is supporting this worthwhile initiative.

Thanks also to Roscommon Co Council for all their help and support.

Lady's Smock /Cuckoo-flower /or in Irish Biolar gréagáin (Cardamine pratensis)

These beautiful large white to pinkish flowers are plentiful in Kilteevan's damp meadows this week

( 27th. April 2015).

It’s amazing how the Lady’s Smock and the cuckoo bird arrive together annually.

It is a native plant and belongs to the large family Brassicaceae.

It is a larval foodplant of the Orange-tip butterfly below photographed in Kilteevan in June 2014.

We look forward to his return in a few weeks time.

A group of Kilteevan Youth Club members, accompanied by Youth Leaders Caitriona Dolan and Fiona Coen, went on an activity trip to Jump Zone trampoline centre in Dublin on 25^th April 2015.  Jump Zone is a completely unique and cutting edge experience and is the first of its kind not only in Ireland but in the whole of Europe.

The Kilteevan group all agreed that it was "a really cool day out”.

The next Youth Club outing is to the Hype Music Festival in Longford next month.

This promises to be another exciting event.
