Submit records for the Belfast Hills Partnership

About the Belfast Hills Partnership

The Belfast Hills Partnership (BHP) is an independent charity which seeks to improve how the hills are managed. They will do this by working with all their partners including local councils, government departments, community groups, nature conservation organisations and businesses committed to caring for the Belfast hills and their people.

The Belfast Hills Partnership acts for all sides and interests in the hills. They bring together statutory bodies with a role to play in the Hills, including the four councils of Belfast, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Antrim. These are joined by people from farming, the settlements, commercial enterprises and the recreation and environmental sectors.

All these groups have pledged to work together to solve problems and forge new initiatives to benefit the Hills. You can find out more on the Belfast Hills website.

Other Information

If you've got lots of records to submit, then we recommend breaking the records up into several batches as it is very easy to accidentally click the back button on the browser and lose the data entered so far.

Please enter the species you saw and any other information about them.

The Species field will autocomplete as you type.
Tip: add an asterisk (*) before the species name if you want to search for part of the name e.g. *porpoise will return both common and harbour porpoise. If you can't find the species using the common name, try using the scientific name. Click on the species you want to choose.)

Determiner: if you have had an expert confirm the identification of a record please add their name in the 'Determiner' field. This will help when the record is being verified.
