Local Environment Fund
Connecting People With Nature
We know that doing small things can make a big difference to wildlife as well as the people involved in the project, so we also awards grants to projects which contribute to raising people’s awareness of the natural world.
Grants of up to £15,000 are available for projects that create and enhance spaces for wildlife in towns and villages, close to where we live.
As well as improving biodiversity, we expect community projects to provide additional opportunities for local people to engage in the natural world by
contributing to raising people’s awareness of and/or involvement in and/or education about, natural and semi-natural habitats and green space; and
enhancing opportunities for people’s learning about and interacting with habitats and/or species.
