Carnmoney Hill in Newtownabbey is one of a chain of hills, steeped in history and folklore, which watch over Belfast City. Thanks to an agreement with Newtownabbey Borough Council, 68 hectares of grassland, wetland and woodland are now under the conservation management of the Woodland Trust.
The Trust has already planted 52,000 trees, making this one of the largest native woodland creation projects in Northern Ireland. The young trees link the existing fragments of ancient woodland, creating valuable homes for wildlife.
A series of forthcoming tree-planting events will give you and your children the chance to take part and make a living, lasting contribution to the Hill.
