Greening the Grey Forum

We have been awarded funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for the Nature Towns and Cities Belfast Project, which is being delivered in partnership with Ulster Wildlife. Our aim is to develop a shared, city-wide blueprint that supports informed decision-making and helps create a nature-rich, climate-resilient, thriving Belfast.

As we begin this ambitious programme, we are bringing together organisations, community leaders, partners and stakeholders from across the city to help shape the vision, priorities and partnerships that will guide this work.

Our first Greening the Grey Forum will explore how Belfast's built environment and grey spaces can be enhanced to support biodiversity, and how nature-based solutions can help address many of the environmental and social challenges facing the city.

Your experience, insights and connections across Belfast's communities and organisations will be invaluable to this conversation, and we would be delighted if you could join us.
