The Belfast Hills Partnership is made up of local councils, government departments, community groups, nature conservation organisations and businesses committed to caring for the Belfast Hills, their wildlife and people.
The Partnership is managed by directors nominated from the Statutory, Land owning/Land managing and Community sectors. These three sectors each consist of several groups that sit on our Board as directors or observers.

As well as managing the Partnership, the directors speak for their members and respective communities.
