Earlier in the week I spoke with Dr Cliff Henry, who is a Nature Engagement Officer with the National Trust. Cliff is based on the North Coast of Northern Ireland, famous for its coastal landscapes from the basalt cliffs. Cliff has experience managing the Giants Causeway and gives us insight into the challenges the site faces through increasing visitor numbers and rising sea levels. We also talk about the wide range of activities happening at the site, such as volunteering and engaging with the local communities. My favourite part of our chat was about how the National Trust is applying and testing sustainable land use measures on their land to work with nature. This seems very relevant with the ongoing algal blooms impacting our waterways and coastlines. Don't forget you can subscribe to our email list and check out other episodes at www.coastalcatchups.com.
