Environment & Education:

Lough Neagh is a world renowned Natura 2000 site assisted by the Ramsar Convention, with the whole of the Lough being designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Partnership’s work is integral to the strategic management of this natural asset and assists important environmental projects throughout the Lough Neagh area. We are keen to develop local community based environmental projects and promote the concept of local management and ownership.
