Community Wildlife
The Community Wildlife programme, a partnership between the Big Lottery Fund and BBC Wildlife Fund’s Go Wild, is funding projects that bring local people together to discover, protect and enjoy the wildlife in their local area.
The programme is offering funding of between £300 and £10,000 for projects that improve rural or urban environments for people to enjoy, for example by:
- Protecting wildlife habitats
- Creating a nature trail, woodland walk or wildlife garden for people to enjoy
- Improving natural community spaces, such as rivers, ponds and woodlands.
The programme will also fund projects that get people active and healthier, for example by:
- Exploring parks, rivers and the countryside to look for rare or endangered species
- Encouraging people to take up gardening or go on nature walks
- Providing opportunities for children to learn about nature through play.
The programme has three rounds, and the deadline for the first is 21 July 2010.
