Ongoing Issues in the Belfast Hills

The Belfast Hills face a wide range of ongoing issues and problems. Landfill, planning, illegal dumping, litter, dog fouling, fires and pollution are of enormous concern to us all.

The Belfast Hills Partnership is confident that these can be addressed with the right support. We strive 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

With sustainable management, the Belfast Hills can improve and undergo a renaissance of interest and development for the benefit of all. Find out more about the various issues in the Hills and what you can do to play your part in tackling these issues.
