Dear CEF Member Archive,
April by now is somewhat synonymous with An Taisce's National Spring Clean. National Spring Clean is Ireland's most popular, well recognised and successful anti-litter initiative. Now in its 14th year, the campaign encourages every sector of society to actively participate and take responsibility for litter, by actually conducting clean-ups in their own local environment. The campaign runs throughout the month of April. CEF is getting involved with some beach clean-ups, there will be a few Nappucino - Real Nappy Week talks and more screenings of Trashed. You can get involved in these events or organise your own local clean-up and register your event online or by phone with An Taisce.
3rd April: Beach clean-up in partnership with Garryvoe Hotel and An Taisce Clean Coast Programme. Meet at the carpark of the Hotel at 2pm.
Details of other clean-ups to be finalised.
16th April: Talk and discussion at Blackpool Library "Real Nappies... Real Change!" to inspire a new generation of parents to make the change and Go Real.
Trashed To be screened in Midleton, Clonakilty and Newmarket during April, details of dates and venues will be circulated shortly.
10th April See details of a public meeting in Macroom to identify Job Creation Opportunities. If you are unable to attend but have ideas you would like to input especially in the area of "green jobs" please let me know.
13th April Cork County Council and An Taisce's Clean Coast Programme are having an East Cork Coastcare Seminar on Saturday 13th April at 1.30pm for coastal groups in the East Cork area. This is by invite, however, if you are interested you can contact Aidan Gray by phone or email at 087 6826934 or agray@eeu.antaisce.org.
Adopt A Road: This scheme introduced last year by Cork County Council is ideal for groups such as Tidy Towns who wish to take on an additional challenge to combat litter in their area. We encourage groups to consider taking on this scheme especially for National Spring Clean month. See details.
The National Biodiversity Data Centre, in conjunction with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Northern Ireland Environment Agency, Coillte and the Centre for Environmental Data and Recording is organising Ireland’s BioBlitz event on 24 & 25 May 2013. The event will be held at four locations; Wicklow Mountains National Park, Co. Wicklow, Burren National Park, Co. Clare, Lough Key Forest Park, Co. Roscommon and Colebrooke Estate, Co. Fermanagh. More details. Lastly I have a few notices of forthcoming courses from associates which are not environmentally related but may be of interest. SHEP Courses in Cork April & May and "Create Harmony" with Thomas Reidmuller.

Bernie
