East Suffolk Council has today launched the Nature First Small Grants Scheme on behalf of the East Suffolk Greenprint Forum.
The aim of the scheme is to support the Council’s environmental vision in building the right environment for East Suffolk by funding projects that contribute to the enhancement of local biodiversity and/or its understanding and appreciation by the local community.
Eligible projects could include work to restore existing habitats or create new ones, provision of nesting/roosting places for birds, pollinators and other animals, or activities to help local people of any age learn more about and enjoy their local biodiversity.
The scheme will run over four phases during 2021/22, offering grants of up to £1,000. The first application period is now open until 28 July 2021 and full details, including eligibility and how to apply, can be found here.
