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.
