The Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust are inviting suitably qualified and experienced individuals/companies to quote for a conservation pilot project at the Giant’s Causeway and would appreciate your support by sharing information to your audience.  

It has become evident in recent years that visitors to the Giant’s Causeway World Heritage Site, have been inserting coins between joints and fractures in the basalt columns. Following research and expert advice, funding has been awarded to run a pilot project to map, survey and remove coins from test sites, determining conservation thresholds and establishing a monitoring programme within the World Heritage Site. Causeway Coast and Glens Heritage Trust, in collaboration with the National Trust (landowner of the Giant’s Causeway) and on behalf of the World Heritage Site Steering Group, are seeking suitably qualified and experienced companies or individuals to complete these works.
