Rewilding Britain – Rewilding Innovation Fund

Description

Grants are available to boost locally led land and marine nature recovery projects across Britain.

Current Status: Open for Applications

Maximum value: £ 15,000

Objectives of Fund

This fund aims to foster new and ambitious community rewilding projects, and to remove barriers to rewilding projects within Britain, whether they’re at the early planning stages or want to move a project one step wilder. Funding will be awarded to projects with potential for the highest impact for people and nature.

Value Notes

Grants of up to £15,000 are available. It is expected that most awards will be less than £10,000.

In the pilot round of the Rewilding Innovation Fund (August 2021), a total of £55,000 was awarded to six projects.

It is anticipated that around 15 to 20 projects will be awarded funding in this round.

Who Can Apply

To apply for funding, projects must be: 

• Based in Britain 
• Part of the Rewilding Network (includes community, private and public landowners, and managers of rewilding areas on the land and at sea).
• Rewilding at scale (more than 40 hectares) according to Rewilding Britain’s rewilding principles. This can be an individual landholding or a cluster of landholdings. It is recommended that applicants who are rewilding on a smaller scale form a group or network to apply. 

Priority will be given to applicants who are taking an innovative approach to land and marine rewilding, and applicants that will help develop learning and evidence for others within the Rewilding Network.

Previously unsuccessful applicants can reapply for funding in this round.
