If you are planning an environmental activity using volunteers or think you can come up with a good project that improves biodiversity, then you could be eligible for a CSV Action Earth grant.
The CSV Action Earth campaign is running from May to October this year, supported once again by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). The 2011 campaign offers three different types of grants ranging from £50-£500 to cover materials, tools and expenses and can make a big difference to an event.
1. CSV Action Earth Express awards are easy-to-access grants of £50 for any group of volunteers to improve their local environment through practical conservation.
2. SNH Biodiversity Awards are grants of £250 for projects who are providing or improving habitats for wildlife or enhancing local biodiversity.
3. SNH Local Nature Reserve Awards of up to £500 are available exclusively for projects taking place on Local Nature Reserves (LNR).
Last year, over 10,000 CSV Action Earth volunteers were involved in tasks such as improving woodlands by planting and clearing, turning derelict wasteland into bee-friendly wildflower meadows, creating ponds and footpaths, tagging sharks, building bird and bat boxes and a whole range of other environmental activities. We are keen to help projects and groups attract new volunteers to their work.
Grants will be allocated on a first come first serve basis, so please register quickly. Projects can apply NOW. You can apply online, download forms or get more information at www.actionearth.org.uk
If you wish to discuss project ideas or discuss any issues relating to the campaign, please contact Robert Henderson on 0131 222 9083 or e: rhenderson [at ] csv.org.uk
Get involved and help make a difference to your local environment!
