A new campaign has been launched to tackle littering from illegal camping and outdoor drinking at well known scenic spots. Conservation groups say some areas have become blackspots after a surge in visitors since Covid-19 restrictions eased |

Many well known scenic areas are becoming litter hotspots because of an "unprecedented increase" in domestic visitors, according to conservation and tourism groups.

The campaign involves a host of groups including Leave No Trace Ireland, Fáilte Ireland, Waterways Ireland, Coillte and the National Parks and Wildlife Service who are worried about the damage being done to the environment. Ellie Berry of Leave No Trace Ireland said there has been an increase in overnight camping and drinking trips with people lighting fires and leaving rubbish behind.

Wesley Atkinson of the National Parks and Wildlife Service said there needs to be greater awareness of environmental rules among those visiting the countryside.
