Grant News

Rewilding Britain, a nature restoration charity, is set to reopen applications to its Rewilding Innovation Fund in January 2025.

The fund offers grants of up to £15,000 to support innovative rewilding projects across Britain.

The fund accepts applications from a range of organisations, including community groups, private landowners, and public-sector organisations involved in environmental conservation. To be considered, land-based projects must encompass a minimum of 40 hectares of contiguous land, while marine projects can be of any size.

Eligible projects can cover a wide range of activities, from community engagement and feasibility studies to technological innovations and strategic planning. The primary goal is to remove barriers to rewilding and encourage creative, impactful approaches to ecological restoration that benefit nature, climate, and local communities.

Since its inception, the Rewilding Innovation Fund has already supported 44 diverse initiatives, including groundbreaking projects in carbon capture, seagrass restoration, tree seeding experiments, and community consultation. Examples of projects supported are available on the Rewilding Britain website (link below).

Applicants need to be part of the Rewilding Britain's Rewilding Network (applicants may join at the point of application).

Further information will be made available in due course.
