Nature Towns and Cities Belfast

About Nature Towns and Cities Belfast

Nature Towns and Cities is a UK-wide programme focused on bringing the benefits of nature and green space to everyone and is made possible with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund (link opens in new window).

You can find out about other projects on the Nature Towns and Cities website (link opens in new window).  

The Nature Towns and Cities project for the Belfast area will be delivered by us in partnership with Ulster Wildlife.

There are five key actions to this project.

• Empowering people and building capacity within community groups and stakeholders.
• Investigating opportunities to green the grey.
• Investigate ways to enhance our parks and open spaces to benefit biodiversity and climate resilience.
• Improving evidence and data to better inform our decisions.
• Evaluate opportunities for organisational sustainability.

Thanks to an investment of £850,514 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we can make progress on some excellent work that has already begun.
