In recent months volunteers have stepped forward to help litter pick in and around Clane. Groups of volunteers have been out at weekends to collect litter and have it removed with the assistance of Kildare County Council.
However, there is more to the initiative than just picking litter. It also involves
learning about the heritage of our countryside and the flora and fauna to be seen
there. It is gathering momentum and Kildare County Council have launched a green-kilometer initiative to support these efforts. If you are interested in participating please get in touch!
From the Kildare County Council website…
Kildare Green Kilometre Scheme
When it comes to communities looking after their area to deal with littering and dumping, Kildare is well served with a network of Tidy Towns groups in almost every town and village in the county. But Kildare County Council is aware that there are groups and individuals in rural areas who would like to become involved in looking after their own locality. With over 2,500 kilometres of roads in the county, it is hoped that these communities will work to improve these targeted areas.So rather than just asking people to pick up litter, we are asking groups and individuals to choose a kilometre of road in their area- preferably a quiet, local road in terms of safety. The group would then commit to maintain the chosen kilometre over the course of a year. Each Green Kilometre will be looked at twice in the year- not to judge, but to offer advice in terms of litter, hedge maintenance, care of heritage features etc.
Small prizes of some native trees and shrubs are on offer for all projects submitted. More importantly, it is an opportunity for your community to work together on a project that benefits everybody.
The following examples are some of the activities that can be included:
• Removing litter
• Managing hedgerows and verges
• Restoring heritage features such as old farm gates or walls.
Permission from landowners should be obtained first and protected structures should only be maintained following professional advice.Please remember that the cutting of hedges is banned from March 1st to September 1st
Applications can be submitted at any time of the year.
The council looks forward to seeing many green kilometres around the
county in 2021 and beyond!…….
If you are interested in participating please make contact with Clane Community Council and Clane Tidy Towns by emailing ClaneCommunityCouncil@gmail.com. Indicate where you live and that you want to help with the Green Kilometre initiative. We can assist you in having your group registered with Kildare county Council.
In related news Loughanure Area Text Alert Scheme undertook a litter picking day on Saturday 24/04/2021 and many helped to clean up the roads in our area approx. 10Km. A big Thank You to all who took part especially the young environmentalists.

Clane Community Council is delighted to announce that as of this evening… Clane’s Christmas Lights are on!!
Please note that this wonderful display would not be possible without the just as wonderful support we received from across the community:
Our sincere thanks to everyone that contributed in any way towards this project, but, taking a little step back, a big thank you too to everyone that supports in any way any of the community groups, organizations and initiatives in Clane that enrich our lives and our village in so many ways.
Wishing you and your family a safe and happy Christmas,
Clane Community Council
Clane Community Council is preparing for this year’s Christmas Lights around the village centre to conclude the programme of voluntary work for 2020.
Christmas Lights in Clane has been developed as a collaborative effort for the benefit of people living and visiting Clane since 2016.
This year we would really welcome additional donations from people with any links to Clane.
Contributions will go some way to match the funding provided by local businesses and Kildare County Council towards maintaining the low-energy LED lights.
Our GoFundMe page is https://www.gofundme.com/f/clane-community-council-christmas-lights.
Many thanks for your support

Exact details will depend on the number and the nature of the locations in Clane, but we think a coordinated set of discrete signage might be a delightful addition to the community.
