Yesterday, we were joined in our work on the maze by students who are following an environmental course with the Belfast Hills Partnership with staff members Sylvia and Polly. It was good to see them & they were a great help. Vivek turned up at half-time with plentiful supplies.

Making good use of an anti graffiti kit supplied by Belfast PCSP and Belfast City Council our volunteers managed to clean some of the information and mountain bike trail signage in Cave Hill Country Park. Some before and after shots. Cavehill Mountainbikers

WE recently went for a dander at Belfast Castle with Cavehill Conservation Campaign 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. #cavehillnorthernireland #cavehillconservationcampaign #boutyeh

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!

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.
