About
Chuaigh Belmullet isteach sa chomórtas Bailte Slachtmhara den chéad uair sna 1960idí agus tar éis dul in éag rinne siad athchóiriú ar Bhailte Slachtmhara Belmullet sna 1980idí agus tá sé seo fós ag dul inniu. San am ó shin, d’fhorbair sé ceantair timpeall limistéar bhaile Belmullet d’fhonn an baile a dhéanamh níos tarraingtí agus níos neamhdhíobhálaí don chomhshaol. Eagraíonn Bailte Slachtmhara Belmullet imeachtaí éagsúla ar féidir le gach duine páirt a ghlacadh iontu. Ina measc seo tá seachtain náisiúnta oidhreachta, faisnéis faoi athchúrsáil pobail, turas bliantúil Corncrake. Ag obair i dteannta le Comhairle Contae Mhaigh Eo ag eagrú ceardlanna le scoileanna / grúpaí óige agus ag oideachas leis an bpobal faoi fheachtas An Taisce (cóstaí glana) agus feachtas ‘Think before you flush’ Uisce Éireann. Tá tionscadal leanúnach ag an ngrúpa Bailte Slachtmhara le Western Care, áit a n-úsáideann siad a gcuid tollán polai chun plandaí córacha leapa a fhás agus mar chúiteamh múineann siad scileanna garraíodóireachta inbhuanaithe agus conas athchúrsáil, múirín a dhéanamh agus conas an t-uisce báistí a fhómhar. Tá ár dtionscadal reatha de bhithéagsúlacht an cheantair ar siúl faoi láthair. Táimid i mbun oiliúna le Leave no Trace. Tá an oiliúint ar fáil do ghrúpaí pobail, feirmeoirí, úinéirí talún, cónaitheoirí agus leanaí scoile. Cuirfidh an oiliúint ar an eolas muid faoi conas ár ngnáthóg nádúrtha agus ár speicis inár gceantar áitiúil a bhainistiú.
Belmullet first entered the Tidy Towns competition in the 1960's and after a lapse they reformed Belmullet Tidy Towns in the 1980's and this is still going today. In the time since, it has developed areas around the Belmullet town area in order to make the town more appealing and environmentally friendly.
Belmullet Tidy Towns organise a variety of events for everyone to participate in. These include a national heritage week, community recycling information, an annual Corncrake tour. Working alongside Mayo County Council organising workshops with schools/youth groups and educating with the public about An Taisce's (clean coasts) and Irish Water 'Think before you flush' campaign.
The Tidy Towns group have an ongoing project with Western Care, where they use their poly-tunnels to grow bedding plants and in return teach participants sustainable gardening skills and how to recycle, make compost and how to harvest the rain water.
Our current project of the areas biodiversity is currently underway. We are carrying out training with Leave no Trace. The training is available to community groups, farmers, landowners, residents and school children. The training will make us aware of how to manage our natural habitat and species in our local area.
