Beginning in 2006 as the Kintogher Spring Clean event, this annual community event now encompasses both Drumcliffe and Rathcormac village areas and their wider environs. Each April, the now Drumcliffe Rathcormac Spring Clean event sees approximatley 300 local residents, school children, and Scouts taking part in cleaning several kilometres of national, regional and local roads and surrounding areas. The 2013 event saw a record breaking collection of more than 100 bags of refuse – a great result for the community, but a sad reflection on Irish attitudes towards the environment.
