We'd like to extend thanks to @naomhgall Men's Shed & @belfastcc Community Parks Outreach Team West for their generous donation of a Pine Marten Box. The group worked on this project that will hopefully boost biodiversity along the Forth Meadow Community Greenway & Belfast Hills

Phil Simpson @buzzardbushcraft & his daughter Lisa led a superb forage walk in #Cavehill wood. They showed us a range of plants & described their medicinal & culinary uses. We then treated us to elderflower champagne, compote of wild fruits, nettle soup & flour/nettle biscuits.

WE recently went for a dander at Belfast Castle with @CavehillConserv who introduced us to the maze their volunteers created on the north side of the castle where their volunteers also created a raised her bed.

8 volunteers from @WSP UK, an engineering consortium joined us today for a litter lift. We gave them a guided tour of the woods and they lifted 8 large bags of rubbish from deep among the trees. A great day's work from a lovely, lively bunch. Thanks, guys!
