The Glebe Kilclief – a Green Community Hub for People, Plants & Pollinators

Through this project HCT aims to engage with its local communities in transforming its 8.5-acre Glebe House estate into a sustainable Green Community Hub, increasing environmental diversity and growing food in a nature-friendly way. Our vision is to achieve the conservation of our site’s fragile and ecologically rich environment, uncover and share its historical and cultural heritage, and build a long-term community-led model of stewardship and environmental education. By harnessing our rich social and environmental heritage resources through the process of creating a Land Use Map, Conservation Management Plan and associated Action Plan we aim to address social and environmental challenges including rural isolation and well-being. The legacy from this Phase 1 Project is to lay the foundations for future, larger-scale activities to develop HCT's vision of a welcoming space for all which aligns too with NLHF’s priorities of heritage conservation, environmental protection, community engagement, inclusion and organisational sustainability.
