East Suffolk Council
Nature First Small Grants Scheme
The Nature First small grants fund is provided by East Suffolk Council on behalf of the East Suffolk Greenprint Forum and is available for projects that specifically contribute to the enhancement of local biodiversity and/or its understanding and appreciation by the local community. Eligible projects may include work to restore existing habitats, creation of habitats, provision of nesting / roosting places for birds, pollinators and other animals, or activities to help local people of any age learn about and enjoy their local biodiversity.
Eligible projects must contribute to the Greenprint Forum’s goal of an East Suffolk where the value of nature is recognised by the majority, visitors are attracted because of it and everyone actively cares for it.
If you are considering making an application but aren’t sure if this grant scheme is appropriate for your project please contact greenissues@eastsuffolk.gov.uk.
Applications can be submitted at any time, there is no deadline as the Panel will convene approximately once per month (subject to the need) to consider applications on an ongoing, first come first served basis until the funding has all been allocated.
