Environment & Access
We are privileged as club members to have access to the areas where we walk. At all times, we should demonstrate our appreciation for this access by respecting and caring for the environment.
Mountaineering Ireland (MI) has a very detailed section on their website detailing how we should care for the environment.
The MI Environment and Access policy, in addition to the Leave No Trace programme, should form the basis as to how we should treat the environment when on club walks.
