Registration is now open for the 2019 PURE Mile Awards
FOLLOWING the success of the 2018 PURE Mile Competition which saw an unprecedented number of miles adapted, registration has now opened for the 2019 competition.
The Pure Project are looking for groups, communities, individuals, schools, walking groups, cycling groups, scouts, businesses and everyone who is passionate about preserving your community’s natural setting or keeping the Wicklow/ Dublin uplands in the pristine condition they deserve to be found in.
The Pure Mile is an environmental initiative of The Pure (Protecting Uplands and Rural Environments) Project which aims to foster a greater appreciation and awareness of our country roadscapes by rewarding and acknowledging local community efforts. You can adopt a mile, or miles, of road in your own area or a location in the Wicklow/Dublin uplands and play a crucial role in the ‘Clean-up The Uplands’ initiative. This year over 1,000 volunteers collectively improved and enhanced over 220 miles of road, forestries, woodlands, upland amenities, valleys, mountains, and beaches, with the removal of tonnes of illegal dumping and litter.
