The Meath County Council is pleased to announce the Green Kilometre Award.
This award is designed for community groups who are currently part of the Green Kilometre scheme. The scheme invites individuals/groups to choose approximately a kilometre (or longer) stretch of road/loop in their area- preferably a quiet, local road in terms of safety.
The group or individual would then commit to maintaining the chosen stretch over the course of the year. Litter pickers, bags and gloves are on offer for all participating individuals/groups.
