Caring for the hill, their wildlife and people

The Belfast Hills Partnership acts for all sides and interests in the hills.

We bring together statutory bodies with a role to play in the Hills, including the four councils of Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Antrim. These are joined by people from farming, the settlements, commercial enterprises and the recreation and environmental sectors.

All these groups have pledged to work together to solve problems and forge new initiatives to benefit the Hills.

What we do

  • Strive to protect the wildlife of the Belfast Hills
  • Combat invasive species that threaten our native plants and animals
  • Record wildlife and protect habitats
  • Improve access into the Hills and develop new routes eg linking Divis Mountain to Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park
  • Produce leaflets, provide information and volunteering opportunities
  • Commission environmental research
  • Run events, newsletters and website
  • Support local agriculture and communities
  • Scrutinise planning applications that may affect the Belfast Hills
  • Make sure government departments consider the Belfast Hills when making decisions
  • Encourage healthy walking
