Shamrock Squad Return to Cloonlarge
Kilteevan Tidy Towns was delighted to welcome the Shamrock Squad Adventures back to the Cloonlarge Loop today. They couldn’t wait to see Gulliver again. The one and only Batty O Brien was on the bog deck playing the trumpet to welcome our visitors from Co Roscommon, Co Clare and Co. Limerick.
In our photo you can see The Shamrock Squad presenting Eileen Fahey and Noel Maguire, Kilteevan Tidy Towns with Fairy Doors, created by Mens Shed Ballaghaderreen and subsequently hand painted by the children for Lilliput Way. We are looking forward to putting them up.
Shamrock Squad is a community of additional needs families and persons with disabilities on the mission to make outdoors accessible to all. Kilteevan Tidy Towns is committed to inclusion, reducing inequalities, good health and well-being.
With the support of Cllr Kathleen Shanagher and Roscommon Sports Partnership a new mode of transport a Trishaw was brought to Cloonlarge. The Trishaw allows wheelchair users and people with reduced mobility an opportunity to experience a cycle in the great outdoors. We all witnessed how young Patriks face lit up when he was offered the opportunity of a spin on the Trishaw with licenced pilot Noel Feeley.
This new initiative was the brain child of Councillor Kathleen Shanagher. Funding was secured from Roscommon Lions Club, Roscommon County Council, Lough Ree Access for All, the Sacred Heart Home Comfort Fund and Roscommon Sports Partnership.
Roscommon Sports Partnership is currently training the bike pilots for the Trishaw.
Our thanks to The Shamrock Squad, Noel Feeley and Dave Brady Roscommon Sport Partnership, Batty O Brien and Cllr Kathleen Shanagher for a really most enjoyable afternoon.
Celebrating Biodiversity Week on the Cloonlarge Loop
W
e had a lovely, relaxing celebration for Biodiversity Week on the Cloonlarge Loop. The weather was good. We were delighted to welcome visitors from Co Offaly, Tulsk, Roscommon Town, and Kilteevan.
Michael Bell of Nature Learn, continues to inspire us to conserve and protect our local biodiversity. We learned about recording nature and submitting our records. We spotted bees, day flying moths, hoverflies, butterflies, dragonflies, tree creepers, dock beetles and many more.
We listened to the sweet notes of the Willow Warbler, Black Cap, Song Thrush, Wren, Robin and Gold Finch.
A moth trap was set the night before and we had the privilege of seeing beautiful nocturnal moths that we had never seen before. We have put images of six species on the poster to help participants recall the fascinating names! All records were submitted.
Our sincere thanks to Michael Bell, Nollaig Feeney Heritage Officer Roscommon Co Council and the National Parks and Wildlife Service for supporting this project.
