🌳 Nature=Future

Nature can’t β€œwait a wee minute.” Today, Northern Ireland is one of the most nature-depleted places in the world.

Nature is essential to all of our lives. It’s the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. It protects our communities from flooding and extreme heat, supports our health and wellbeing, and brings beauty and connection to our everyday lives.

It is not a nice-to-have. And it is not a blocker to growth.

Yet nature is in freefall. Wildlife continues to decline, water quality is failing, and too many people are increasingly cut off from the natural spaces that help communities thrive.

That’s why today we are launching a Nature=Future e-action, a campaign calling on the NI Government to act now to:
🌱 Restore nature
πŸ¦‹ Protect and invest in wildlife
🏑 Build resilient futures for communities

We’re asking people across Northern Ireland to contact their MLAs and demand action. Please visit the link below to show your support: https://campaigns.nationaltrust.org.uk/page/190930/action/1?ea.tracking.id=NI_Faceboook

It takes less than two minutes to add your voice.

β˜• Trading opportunity

No day out is complete without a nice refreshment... and we're currently seeking a local food and drink concession to serve our visitors at Springhill!

Do you serve coffee, cakes, ice cream, or something a little different? Perhaps you'd like to operate from your horsebox or outside of our regular opening hours? We’d love to hear from you!

🍎 Blossom season

Apples are at the core of Armagh, so why not immerse yourself in the beauty of apple blossom at Ardress House this bank holiday weekend?

It is the perfect opportunity to celebrate nature, history, and fun with the whole family in the famous Orchard County!

πŸͺœ Step down into history

The basement and below stairs spaces at Springhill have reopened to visitors, offering improved access to these working areas of the house and a fuller understanding of how it functioned.

Following the removal of old carpet, furniture conservator Fergus Purdy (who has worked in National Trust houses for more than 25 years) and Collections Assistant Olivia Campbell have been polishing the historic stairwell floor, helping to return this part of the house to active use.

The project highlights the value of local specialist skills, supports team development, and contributes directly to improving presentation and visitor experience.

Visitors can now enjoy seeing the collections looking their best at weekends, with the house and grounds well prepared to offer a warm Mid-Ulster welcome.
