Objective of the funding programme

This fund supports community groups in enhancing the quality of local streams, rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. Funded projects include awareness-raising initiatives such as river clean-ups, biodiversity information boards, citizen science workshops, outdoor classrooms, rainwater harvesting, and wetland enhancement. It also supports the preparation of local plans, including feasibility studies, habitat management plans, ecological surveys, and biodiversity action plans. Additionally, the fund backs river and habitat enhancement works like planting native species and hedgerows, pollinator-friendly planting, riverbank stabilisation, fencing, and the creation of riparian buffer zones.
