- Welcome to the Environment and Heritage Service Homepage ::::
Description
Our aim is, "To protect, conserve and promote our natural environment and built heritage for the benefit of present and future generations."
EHS takes the lead in advising on, and in implementing, the Government's environmental policy and strategy in Northern Ireland. The Agency carries out a range of activities, which promote the Government's key themes of sustainable development, biodiversity and climate change. Our overall aims are to protect and conserve Northern Ireland's natural heritage and built environment, to control and regulate pollution and to promote the wider appreciation of the environment and best environmental practices.
Our work is a diverse and integrated network that draws on the many different scientific and professional skills and expertise of our staff. This variety of skills base and experience allows us to manage and protect our landscapes and their wildlife, to record and conserve historic monuments and to maintain a cleaner and greener environment. While many of our staff join the service with technical and professional qualifications our commitment is to actively encourage and promote their further training and development. This has been recognised externally through our accreditation as an Investors in People organisation.
