What a beautiful morning Fermoy Tidy Towns got for a very enjoyable event;

The '100 Parks in 100 Days' campaign, which will see McDonald's employees undertake 100 litter clean-ups in parks, beaches and nature areas over 100 days from now until October.

20 volunteers from Fermoy Tidy Towns joined 10 of McDonald's Fermoy employees and did a two hour litter pick from Killcrumper on the outskirts of Fermoy to New Road Kilworth and also the four motorway entrances/exits on the M8.

Overall they collected 20 bags of litter!

Great work to everyone who was involved!
