Lough Erne Landscape Partnership
The Lough Erne Landscape Partnership (LELP) has been established to ensure that Lough Erne’s unique built, natural and cultural heritage is protected, enhanced and cherished by all.
The aim of the partnership is to focus on the conservation and promotion of Lough Erne’s landscape character and unique heritage. LELP will address ecological issues, reconnect communities with their heritage, bring economic and social benefits, and create links between stakeholders to realise a longer-term goal of the coordinated management of the landscape.
Just over £2.6 million has been set aside by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to support LELP deliver a range of strategic and community based activities and projects from 2018 to 2023. The funding for this scheme would not be possible if it were not for the support and generosity of the National Lottery Players.
The LELP Partnership is led by RSPB NI and includes Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Fermanagh Rural Community Network, Lough Erne Heritage, National Trust, Upper Lough Erne Region and Waterways Ireland.
