About the Trust

Supporting natural, built & cultural heritage for almost 25 years

Causeway Coast & Glens Heritage Trust, an independent charity, has delivered lmost 25 years of protected area management, partnerships and projects designed to support natural, built and cultural heritage.

CCGGT recently outlined out a clear strategy for the the next chapter in its work in our very special local areas:

• Delivering a programme of high-quality protected landscape management
• Inspiring local communities
• Conserving and enhancing our natural built and cultural heritage.

We’ll do this – as always – by bringing together internal subject and project expertise, with external specialists where needed, for the benefit of all.

Causeway Coast & Glens Heritage Trust Mission:

“to raise awareness of the special qualities of the natural, built and cultural heritage of the Causeway Coast & Glens area including the Antrim Coast & Glens, Causeway Coast and Binevenagh Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty; promoting environmental management and sustainable development that aims to conserve and enhance the unique heritage of the area for the benefit of all.”

“It seems to me that the natural world is the great source of excitement: the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.”
