Heritage Fund Nature Networks Funidng

 




Nature Networks Fund (round two)

 

This fund aims to strengthen the resilience of Wales’ network of protected land and marine sites, supporting nature’s recovery while actively encouraging community engagement.

Is this the right programme for you?

·        Are you an individual or organisation working with natural heritage in Wales?

·        Do you need funding for a nature-based project which is ready to start?

·        Does your project focus on improving wildlife and biodiversity in Wales?

·        Do you require a grant between £30,000 and £1million?

If you answered yes to these questions, then the Nature Networks Fund (round two) is for you.

Overview 

As a key element to the delivery of the Nature Networks Programme, the aim of the Nature Networks Fund is to improve the condition and resilience of Wales’ network of protected land and marine sites.

Improving the condition of these protected and connected sites will enable them to function better as nature networks. Nature networks are vital, resilient areas where habitats and species can thrive and expand. Restoring connectivity in these networks will:

  • prevent further declines in species and habitat condition
  • support nature recovery
  • enhance capacity to adapt to the climate crisis

This fund will also support the active involvement of communities in and around protected sites. Strengthening engagement with nature has direct health and wellbeing benefits for people, as well as improving the resilience of the sites themselves.
