🌊 Learning Together Across Lough Foyle
Last Wednesday, pupils from St Aidan’s Primary School, Magilligan and Scoil Cholmcille, Greencastle came together for Learning Together Across Lough Foyle, part of the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council PEACEPLUS Nature & Environment Programme.

The morning was spent exploring the coastline at Magilligan with Michael from Magilligan Field Centre, who led the pupils in a combination of litter picking and beachcombing.

But it wasn’t just about picking up litter — the pupils identified what they found, thought about where it had come from and how it had made its way onto the beach, and discovered more about the natural and human influences on our coastline.

The morning finished with a creative challenge, using some of their finds to create coastal beach art.

The Nature & Environment Project is delivered by Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust on behalf of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and is proudly supported by , managed by the Special EU Programmes Body

🚶‍♀️ Have you heard about Walking for All? 🚶‍♂️

Walking for All is a completely FREE community walking programme, with friendly, social walks taking place across Mid & East Antrim.

We already have some fantastic groups up and running locally, and new walkers are always very welcome – you can come along on your own, bring a friend or encourage someone who might benefit from getting out and meeting others.

📍 Have a look at the posters below for walks currently running in your area.

A couple of weekends ago, Project Officer Grace led a tour of Ballykelly and Magilligan for the The Ulster Archaeological Society. It was lovely to share some of the monuments in Binevenagh AONB with the group as well as highlight some of the projects undertaken through the Binevenagh & Coastal Lowlands Landscape Partnership Scheme.
Thanks to everyone who came along, and special thanks to Khris at Walworth House for allowing us to visit, and Mark from Love Heritage NI for sharing his knowledge of the Martello Tower with us.
