Community Environment Action Fund 2019

Cork County Council is pleased to announce the launch of the 2019 Community Environment Action Fund, previously known as the Local Agenda 21 scheme. This fund is designed to help increase local levels of environmental awareness and to help local communities become more sustainable. If you are aware of any local community group, school or residents association interested in submitting a project for funding please make them aware of this scheme and of the online application form at www.yourcouncil.ie.

The scheme is open to applications from all individuals and groups who have appropriate projects in mind. However, funding is limited and Cork County Council will award funding to projects that best meet our qualifying criteria.  Please note that the Minister has asked that priority be given to Climate and Biodiversity projects in the 2019 scheme.  Projects focusing on biodiversity should take account of the National Biodiversity Action Plan and/or the All Ireland Pollinator plan and how it applies to the local area.
Applications should be submitted online ONLY at www.yourcouncil.ie/service/CEA_Fund before 5:00pm on the 27th September. 
Should you require any further information please contact ceafund@CorkCoCo.ie.

This week we focus on Rusheen N.S who were Gold Medal Winners.  The judges were very impressed   that the  garden is of a consistently high standard. The garden is maturing nicely. There is a good emphasis on food production and biodiversity. The garden is well planned and cared for. Labeling and use of Irish was excellent. Very good use of upcycling colour and art and we loved the links with local history/heritage, the outdoor classroom and the Glasshouse which is a great asset. Great overall Garden.     Keep up the good work Rusheen N.S     Congratulations to all involved at Rusheen N.S For more Information on the School Gardens Competition  Click Here  Enter for 2024  eniRw7MbRoUdmjYe7 here    https://forms.gle/

The enthusiasm and knowledge of the children was amazing. Labeling and use of Irish was excellent. Very good use of upcycling colour and art and we loved the wildflower area and the wildflower meadow.   Great overall Garden.  The soil could benefit from some conditioning mulching and maturing in some places and we look forward to seeing your plans for a nature trail come to fruition. Also consider more water harvesting near your beds.
