This will be a fun day on the bog as we explore and learn about Cloonlarge Bog, wander down Lilliput Way, and discover the moths that live there!

Congratulations to Mark Fox and Killian Lunt (in our photo) both of whom were National Finalists in the FarmPEAT 2022 "Love Your Wellies" Competition . Both boys attend Kilteevan National School.
There were over a thousand entries from primary and secondary schools throughout the 32 counties .
The results were announced on June 17th. by Pippa Hackett. Minister of State for Land Use and Biodiversity at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine .
Well the exciting news is that the Final Overall 1st place NATIONAL WiINNER was MARK FOX for his entry titled The Boglands. Well Done Mark, what an achievement!
Kilteevan Tidy Towns is particularly pleased and proud of the fact that Mark and Killian's projects were inspired by our Cloonlarge Loop Project. Both boys used aspects of the Loop as themes for their entries. This makes us feel that all our hard work is worthwhile . We have successfully reached a younger generation and encouraged them to reflect on our natural heritage.
Mark's project was a detailed 3 dimensional diorama based of the Cloonlarge Loop, tracing its history back to the last ice age 10,000 years ago
Killian's project was based on the Turf Hopper designed by his grandfather and fabricated by his father. Killian surprised us all with his level of detail about the workings of the Hopper not to mention his cool video presentation .
Well Done to all participants in this competition.
Listen as Minister of State for Land Use and Biodiversity, Pippa Hackett announces te results of the 2022 "Love Your Wellies" competition.
