Applications have opened for Co Cavan's "Green Kilometre Scheme".
The scheme is a revised version of the Adopt a Road Scheme and has been modified to include biodiversity and heritage enhancement and restoration.
It allows individuals and groups to choose a stretch of road in their area - around one kilometre in length - which they then commit to maintaining over the course of the year.
Litter pickers, bags and gloves are on offer for all participating individuals or groups and a limited supply of native trees will also be available during National Tree Week in March every year.
It's hoped the Green Kilometre Scheme will engage with the community and provide them with the tools and momentum to keep Cavan roads clear of litter.
More information on how to participate can be found on the Councils website.
