A lovely example of how peatland restoration can uncover and help protect local heritage.

Peatlands are not only vital for biodiversity and carbon storing, but can also hold fascinating clues to our past. The discovery of these lime kilns at Slieveanorra in Antrim Coast and Glens AONB highlights how restoring our landscapes can go hand in hand with uncovering, recording and protecting archaeology.

🌟🚶‍♀️ **WHITEHEAD – WE NEED YOU!** 🚶‍♂️🌟

💛 **Fancy making a difference in your local community?**

We're getting ready to launch a brand new **Walking for All – Whitehead Walking Wellbeing Group**, and we're looking for some friendly, enthusiastic local people to become **Volunteer Walk Leaders!**

And don't worry – **you don't need to be super fit, an experienced walker or have any previous qualifications!** 😊

If you enjoy meeting people, having a chat and helping others feel welcome, you could be exactly who we're looking for!

We provide **FREE Walk Leader training**, along with ongoing support to help you get started.

📅 **FREE WALK LEADER TRAINING**

📍 **Whitehead Community Centre**
📅 **Wednesday 4th November**
🕛 **12 noon – 3:00pm**

💙 **What's involved?**

As a Walk Leader, you'll help welcome walkers, support the group and make sure everyone feels included and comfortable.

We're hoping to build a lovely wee team of volunteers who can **share the responsibility**, so it doesn't all fall on one person. You don't have to commit to leading every week!

🌟 **INTERESTED IN STARTING A WALK SOMEWHERE ELSE?**

You don't have to be involved in the new Wednesday group to attend!

Perhaps you'd love to start a walking group in **another part of Whitehead or the surrounding area**, or maybe you have a community group, club or organisation that would benefit from its own regular walk?

**You're more than welcome to come along to the training too!** 💛

Whether it's a morning dander, an evening walk or a wee social walking group, we'd love to help you get something started in your own community.

It's a fantastic opportunity to:

🌟 Meet new people and make friends
🌟 Help reduce loneliness and isolation
🌟 Encourage others to get outdoors and become more active
🌟 Give something positive back to your community
🌟 Gain new skills and confidence

And most importantly, **have a bit of fun along the way!** 😊

📢 **INTERESTED? GET IN TOUCH!**

Whether you'd like to support the new Whitehead group, start a group of your own or simply find out a wee bit more, I'd love to hear from you!

📞 **Please contact Caitriona directly for more information or to book your place on the training.**

**Caitriona – Walking for All Officer**
📱 **07759 707678**

You can call, text or WhatsApp me directly. 😊

💛 **A little of your time could make a big difference to someone else's week.**

Please **LIKE and SHARE** this post, and feel free to **TAG someone who you think would make a fantastic Walk Leader!** 💙

Let's get Whitehead and the surrounding communities walking together! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

📣 CALLING ALL TEACHERS - there's still time to complete the survey!
Northern Ireland Archaeology 2030 Teacher Survey

Are you a teacher in Northern Ireland? Archaeology 2030 would really value your views on how local archaeology is currently used, or could be used in the classroom.

The survey is designed to help understand what teachers need and how we can better support the use of local archaeological sites, places and resources in education.

The survey takes around 15 minutes to complete and is open to primary and post-primary teachers. You don’t need to have taught archaeology before - all perspectives are welcome.

🗓️ Deadline extended: Wednesday 28th October 2026
Please take part or share with teachers who might be interested.

We were delighted to welcome the EUROPARC Atlantic Isles Youth Group to the Causeway Coast AONB as part of the UK Connect project! 🌿

Their visit explored the many different aspects of the AONB, from built heritage to nature conservation and designated site management.

Our Project Officer, Grace, led a tour of Dunluce Castle, while the National Trust’s Dr Cliff Henry shared conservation initiatives and the ongoing work to protect The Giant's Causeway World Heritage Site. NIEA staff also shared insights into marine protection and conservation along our coastline at Coastal Zone Portrush.
