Crumlin Glen SWAT!

11 June 2008

The Belfast Conservation Action Team recently became a Spring Watch Action Team (SWAT) and descended on Crumlin Glen, Antrim to give it a makeover.

The project was part of BBC Breathing Places and coincided with BBC One’s Springwatch programme and transformed an underused greenspace at the edge of a car park into a butterfly garden and seating area for visitors.

Staff and volunteers worked hard to create the new garden and their efforts were rewarded when the project, completed in a few hours, was welcomed by local people who attended the event organised in partnership with the BBC.

The project was also part of BTCV’s Spring into Action campaign and volunteers received a certificate of thanks to celebrate Volunteer’s Week.
