Adopt A Spot

Adopt A Spot Northern Ireland

Make a difference one Spot at a time!

Adopt A Spot is a great way to make a real difference in your local area—whether you’re part of a school, business, community group, or simply someone who cares about the environment.

It’s all about taking positive action where you live: caring for nature, reducing litter, and helping to create cleaner, greener, and more welcoming spaces for everyone to enjoy.

There are lots of ways to get involved. You could help keep a favourite place litter-free, create habitats for local wildlife, or inspire others by showing how small actions can make a big difference.

By joining Adopt A Spot, you’ll become part of a growing community of people working together to help nature recover and improve the places we all share.

Sign up today to join the waiting list for a free litter-picking kit.

How to Get Involved

Choose Your Spot
Pick a place you’re passionate about — whether it’s a littered stretch of beach, a neglected alley, or your local park. Always make sure the area is safe and that you have permission to access it.
Plan Your Activities
Decide what you’d like to do in your Spot. You could plant for pollinators, create habitats for wildlife, or carry out a regular clean-up — every action makes a difference.

Find out more about how you can support local biodiversity here.

Before you get started, we recommend doing a BioBlitz to discover what wildlife is already thriving in your area. It’s a great way to understand your starting point and track your progress over time! Learn more here.
Register Your Spot
Create an account on Submittable and sign up to Adopt A Spot here.

Once registered, you’ll have access to your Spot information anytime. By registering, you agree to care for your Spot and follow our Health and Safety Handbook.
Log Your Progress
Once registered, track your activities using the Activity Log. This helps us stay up to date with your great work!

Each year, we’ll also send a short survey to hear your feedback and celebrate your progress.
Enjoy Your Spot!
Whether you’re adopting your Spot to improve your local area or support wildlife, the time spent outdoors will help you connect with nature and boost your mental wellbeing.
