A big thank-you to Bantry Blues GAA for taking part in the County Clean-Up Day on Saturday as well as our own volunteers👏🏼👏🏼
They all “braved the elements” and picked up a lot of litter in and around town which will be collected by KWD from outside the Old Cinema.

Join us for a special clean up on Saturday April 11th at 11am, we will meet at the fountain on the Square☀️

The clean up is in conjunction with: KWD’s West Cork & Kerry County Clean-Up Day An Taisce’s National Spring Clean

Everyone is welcome. A great chance to spruce our town up, not just for summer visitors, but for ourselves! At the same time, you’ll meet some of our core group and regular volunteers - and learn more about projects we’re working on🌊

If you can’t make it on the day, you can still take part! You can also pick up litter over the preceding days whether that’s in town or areas close to Bantry. The bags of litter can be brought to outside of the Old Cinema in Bantry where they will be collected by KWD.

Great idea 👏🏼
Just inside the door of Bantry Library until March 13th !! 🌟💐

are hosting a seed swop. Bantry Seed Library is a collaboration between Bantry Community Garden, Bantry Library and two local ecological businesses, Maughanasilly Willow Farm and Earth Restore.
It provides a space for the people of Bantry and the surrounding area with an interest in food growing and biodiversity to share seeds and other resources.
The Seed Library will have a space just inside the door of the library until 13th March. It is open to anyone to use.

The seed library follows two simple principles:

⭐Take what you need
If you have no seeds and need to grow something. Take them

⭐Give what you can
If you have a surplus share it.
