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.

Use this page to enter records of moths caught in a garden moth trap.
This form includes automatic blurring of the spatial reference and site name of the record. This feature is enabled on this form because many people trap in their gardens and when the record is added to the system those details appear in public reports.
Previously, to prevent this happening, the recorder had to mark each species as sensitive (this was not ideal!). Using this form allows you to enter the full details about your records in the knowledge that your home address will not appear in the Explore > All Records reports.
The full information will still be available to CEDaR and verifiers but the public records reports will no longer include the site name and grid reference while the dot on the map will be blurred to 1km.
