Raptor Rangers- recording and protecting birds of prey.
Saturday 1st August 2026
10 am- 12 noon/ 12:30pm
Glenariff Forest Park (Education Room- next to the Café)

Join CCGHT and the Northern Ireland Raptor Study Group to learn how to identify, survey and record birds of prey and help contribute to the conservation of some of our most iconic species.

We'll start with a short introductory talk before enjoying a guided watch from a location close to the car park, so there's no need for walking boots or a lengthy hike. Please wear weather-appropriate clothing and come prepared to enjoy a morning in the great outdoors.

Featured Project

Magilligan Tree Nursery

Magilligan Tree Nursery helps the community through prison rehabilitation, community and environmental benefits.

Since its launch in 2022, the team have insisted on the ecologically responsible growth and distribution of UK and Ireland-sourced trees. This supports the resilience of native trees by reducing the risk of imported trees bringing disease into the local population.
