Caring for the hills, their wildlife and people together...
By volunteering with the Belfast Hills Partnership you can take a positive role in helping to protect and conserve the hills for future generations
The Belfast Hills Partnership runs a series of one off volunteering days across the Belfast Hills which include activities such as tree/hedge planting, survey work, site maintenance etc. But if you have more time on your hands we will try to place you with one of our Partners site managers throughout the Belfast hills.
Our Partners are:
The Woodland Trust: Carnmoney Hill
Belfast City Council & Cave Hill Conservation Campaign: Cave Hill Country Park
The National Trust: Divis and Black Mountain
The Ulster Wildlife Trust: Slievenacloy Nature Reserve
The Colin Glen Trust: Colin Glen Forest Park
Types of opportunities we offer include:
- Practical conservation tasks - tree planting, scrub clearance, dry stone walling, habitat restoration
- Habitat surveying and recording
- 'Adopt a hill'- reporting path erosion, fly tipping and vandalism in your local area
- Event assistant
- Providing photographs or articles for use in BHP literature
- Distribution of literature
- Office based computer work and online research
"Volunteering for the Belfast Hills Partnership has not only been great fun, but it has given me the opportunity learn new skills, make new friends and to make a real contribution to the conservation of the Belfast Hills".
Andrew Beare, BHP Volunteer
