The Linnean Society - Our Local Nature Grant Scheme
Details
The "Our Local Nature" Grants are available to fund innovative projects, designed and led by young people in the UK. It aims to empower young people across the UK to take the lead on projects that involve their local nature and natural spaces.
The grant is purposefully broad and welcomes novel ideas. Examples of possible proposals include:
- running a school festival about nature
- painting community murals showcasing biodiversity in the area
- building a community garden
- creating a nature walk
- hiring a speaker to come and talk about local foraging.
Adult applicants should develop their proposal alongside young people and the projects should seek to affect change or empower local young people and their surrounding communities to increase access to natural spaces and improve understanding of the local biodiversity.
