“Be A Ranger Day” Series Day 3-Climate Resilience at Gibbs Island
Could you be a Ranger for a day? Are you passionate about the environment? Worried about the climate crisis? Would you like to help protect your local area? The National Trust Rangers at Strangford Lough would love to meet you.
- Booking essential
Join our winter Be a Ranger series to share what you value about your local landscape, discover how we care for nature around the Lough and Ards Peninsula, and take part in practical conservation work. Across four themed events, explore how trees can support wildlife, improve soil, benefit farming and help landscapes respond to climate change.
What does a changing climate mean for Gibbs Island and the wildlife that depends on it?
Join the National Trust Ranger Team for a guided exploration of the island’s species-rich grassland, woodland, scrub and shoreline. Learn how grazing, habitat diversity and careful tree management can help landscapes respond to storms, drought, waterlogging and other environmental pressures.
Participants will also take part in a supervised practical conservation task designed to strengthen the island’s resilience.
