Rewilding Britain is offering grants of up to £15,000 to help remove barriers to rewilding projects within Britain. The Rewilding Innovation Fund will support rewilding projects on land and at sea, at a scale of more than 40 hectares, that adhere to Rewilding Britain’s rewilding principles.
The fund aims to support works that could potentially unlock further funding or move your project up the rewilding scale. Examples of potential applications include: business plans and strategies, community engagement activities and co-design, feasibility studies, technology and innovation.
Funds are awarded to projects with potential for the highest impact for people and nature.
Applications will be accepted from members of the Rewilding Network: if you aren’t a Rewilding Network member but would like to be considered, please join before applying. Membership is open to community, private and public landowners and managers of rewilding areas on the land and sea.
Note that you must be rewilding at scale – that is more than 40 hectares of land (or any size of marine project). This can be an individual landholding or a cluster of landholdings. If you’re rewilding at a smaller scale than this, you are strongly encouraged to connect with others to form a local group, network or cluster to work up a project for application.
Focus of fund/fund aims:

Application deadline:
The next deadline is 29 February 2024
