Belfast child's tears ignite mum's fight to save historic site hiving with butterflies and newts

A Belfast child was left in tears when development chased away the butterflies she loved visiting at a disused site where nature flourished near her Poleglass home.

In a bid to show her daughter ‘one person can make a difference’, mum Lynsey Donnelly has joined a community campaign to save the remaining land around historic Teelings Mill from the same fate.

The accidental nature reserve, now populated with butterflies, newts, birds, insects, badgers, foxes and more is owned by InvestNI.
