Have you booked in for Climate Camp?!
Booking is free and is not a commitment, but it’s really helpful as it gives us a rough idea of how many people are interested in coming, how much food we need to cook, and what people’s needs are.

I had the pleasure of showcasing Leitrim's famous Sheep Wool Trail to some of my Rural Recreation Officer colleagues. This innovative project has caught the imagination of trail builders all over Ireland and was the first of its kind in the country. Thanks to Mountain Meitheal

@CraigDL1989 @leitrimdevco @leitrimcoco While wood those looks great, the Irish environment is not kind to wooden structures, often degrading within just a few years.

Out with the old, in with the new. Thanks to @leitrimdevco and their Rural Social Scheme team for installing this new stile on the route. Special thanks to @leitrimcoco for helping source this stile.

Improvement works are always ongoing but its great to see such a swift change.

Members of the management committee recently gathered at Acres Lake,Drumshanbo to celebrate this project. It is comprised of key stakeholders from the route, including @leitrimcoco, @waterwaysirelan , @coilltenews , @leitrimdevco , Mountain Meitheal, Landowners and Community Reps

[The Leitrim Way @TheLeitrimWay]

Did you know our route passes through 54 unique Townlands?
Our Management Committee are launching a new project, where Townland names will be added to waymarker posts along the route highlighting which local area walkers are currently passing through as they make their journey.

[The Leitrim Way @TheLeitrimWay]

The project has been funded through grant aid from the @DeptRCD, as a once off recognition grant for the significant importance of walking trails have on our local communities.

[The Leitrim Way @TheLeitrimWay]

24 Hour Trail Closure of The Leitrim Way tomorrow. This will effect only instances where the trail crosses private property. Please respect this closure, as it forms part of the long term access agreement with the private landowners.

[Edwina Guckian @EdwinaGuckian]

Drumshanbo Mummers are gathering today at 12pm outside Mayflower Ballroom before they take to the roads around Lough Allen. All welcome to join us with a song, step, story or a tune on the doorsteps of our community.
