Current Issues and Future Solutions

The Belfast Hills face a wide range of ongoing problems. These include fly-tipping and illegal landfill, pressures for local agriculture, access to the Hills and quality of life issues for local people.

We are currently developing our proposed work programme across a range of projects to:

• increase people's appreciation of the value of the Belfast Hills
• plan and carry out work programmes to protect and enhance biodiversity on the hills
• help people enjoy the hills through a range of well managed public sites
• improve the quality of life for local people
• promote sustainable local agriculture and industry
