Adapting to a changing climate at Mount Stewart in County Down

Overlooking Strangford Lough in County Down, the Mount Stewart estate is affected by climate change in many ways. Rising sea levels threaten to damage wildlife-rich mudflats on the shores of the lough and destroy islands that provide habitats for seabirds and seals.
The sea plantation, which protects the house and gardens against the damaging effects of storms and saltwater, is also being eroded. Watch this video to find out what the National Trust is doing to make this precious landscape more resilient for people and nature. Measures include the creation of important saltmarsh habitats that lock up carbon and support wildlife.
