Inspiring Scotland currently has a fund open for applications which focuses on ecosystem restoration.
Neighbourhood Ecosystem Fund
The Neighbourhood Ecosystem Fund seeks to inspire, encourage, and enable communities to explore and deliver ambitious ecosystem restoration projects locally. It also seeks to raise awareness about the importance of local ecosystem restoration and address barriers faced by community-led efforts.
Community groups can apply for up to £13,500, with successful applicants receiving up to £1,500 in professional fundraising support in addition to their grant.
Projects must focus on one (or more) parts of ecosystem restoration. These are:
• Connecting nature corridors
• Habitat and species restoration
• Freshwater and wetland restoration
• Coastal and marine initiatives
• Control of invasive non-native species impacting on nature
• Enhancing and connecting nature within villages, towns, or cities
