Helping Hand for the Hills from Lylehill Young Farmers Club

An enthusiastic crowd of twenty of the Lylehill Young Farmers Club members joined staff of the Belfast Hills Partnership on Saturday 25th Feb as part of the Partnership's Volunteering programme.

The Lylehill Young Farmers arrived armed with spades bright eyed and eager to get stuck into the tree planting project. The project aimed to help local farmers enhance their land by replacing old hedgerows, planting out new hedges and filling out unused corner of fields with trees, also providing essential new habitats for wildlife. Overall the day was a wonderful success and we hope to repeat it again next year. The Belfast Hills Partnership would like to say a very big thank you to the various farmers who took part in the event, Mc Quillan's Quarry who provided quarry dust and finally to the Lylehill Young Farmers club for all their hard work, energy and great craic!
