Northern Ireland Environment Link (NIEL)

Northern Ireland Environment Link (NIEL) is the forum and networking body for organisations interested in the environment of Northern Ireland. It assists members to develop views on issues affecting the environment and to influence policy and practice impacting on the natural and built environment of Northern Ireland.

NIEL's vision is to have a well protected and enhanced natural and built environment that is valued and cared for by people in Northern Ireland.

FCFCG and NIEL work as partners to support the growth of the community farming and gardening movement in Northern Ireland. To find out more information NIEL, you can visit their website at: www.nienvironmentlink.org
