Jim McGreevy, Committee Member at The National Lottery Heritage Fund said:
“We are excited to support Binevenagh Landscape Partnership in collecting stories involving the people and places across the history of the area, thanks to money raised by National Lottery players. This project will help to safeguard this important local heritage, and provide opportunities for people to explore the past and create stories for the future.”
