Inspiring Scotland report that the first 14 projects supported by the Neighbourhood Ecosystem Fund will kick-start their local nature restoration projects this month.
Why not look and see if there is a community project happening near you or your school?
Ecological surveys, wetland restoration, pond excavations, peatland restoration and biodiversity surveys are just some of the projects that will benefit from the £146,000 of funding. Additionally, each project will receive £1,500 to be spent on fundraising to support the future development and growth of the projects.
The fund was created with funding from the Carman Family Foundation, the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, which is managed by NatureScot, and others. Inspiring Scotland is administering the funding.
