WREN's Biodiversity Action Fund (UK)
Organisations such as environmental bodies, voluntary groups, charities, not-for-project organisations, community groups, Local Authorities and Governmental bodies can now apply for funding through WREN's new £10m Biodiversity Action Fund.
The aim of this scheme is to conserve ancient woodlands, grasslands, heath lands and wetlands for future generations. The Biodiversity Action Fund seeks projects that relate to specific improvements to a site to aid the conservation of a priority habitat to help achieve national, regional or local biodiversity targets. Applications can involve more than one site where there are clear and defined ecological links between sites and the habitat(s) being supported is the same for each site. In addition, projects which involve research, survey and monitoring work and educational elements may be funded but only where there is a clear intent that this work will lead to actual conservation improvements. Projects must be sited at a clearly identified site(s) within 10 miles of any licensed landfill site in WREN operating areas. Grants of between £75,000 and £250,000 are available and projects can last for up to 5 years. The deadline for applications is 30 January 2009....
