First Sperrins AONB Management Plan Launched

For the first time ever, the Sperrins – a stunning 40-mile mountain range spanning Londonderry and Tyrone – now have a 10-year management plan to protect and promote this unique Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Backed by local councils and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, the plan was crafted over 18 months through extensive community consultation, ensuring input from landowners, businesses, and residents. Designated an AONB since 1968, the Sperrins have never had such a strategic roadmap – one focused on safeguarding biodiversity, cultural heritage, and sustainable tourism, while addressing environmental pressures. With strong government support and a collaborative spirit, this milestone plan sets a new standard for conservation and community benefit, aiming to secure the Sperrins’ future for generations to come.
