The Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust lead a project to conserve and enhance the natural and historic beauty of the Glens of Antrim.

The Glens of Antrim have been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), and form a unique part of Northern Ireland’s countryside. This project involves a range of separate strands, addressing themes such as the conservation of the area’s heritage, boosting access to the site and learning opportunities for visitors.

Conservation work will improve upland management planning and develop biodiversity enhancement programmes.

Other projects within the scheme cover activities such as:

  • arranging heritage festivals and events
  • establishing of heritage trails
  • creating a catalogue of cultural traditions in stories and music

This project will not only contribute to the physical maintenance of the AONB, but will ensure its sustainability through involving the local community and raising awareness of the area's importance.
