Our Grant
The projects for the 2025 grant programme have been selected and this round is now closed.
This programme aims to drive innovation and enhance the cost-effectiveness of nature restoration by funding rigorous experimental trials of alternative ecological interventions.
We believe methodical experimentation is both vital and underfunded and we are seeking to address this gap by offering small grants and guidance. The knowledge generated will be made easily and freely available online following open access and reproducible research principles.

How to Apply
Applications will open on the 3rd February 2025 and must be submitted by 31st March 2025. Applicants are invited to complete an application form which will be used to select a shortlist of applicants who will be invited to an informal discussion which will inform the selection of successful applicants. All applicants can expect to hear back within 2 months of the closing date.
We expect the majority of applications to be between £2,000 and £6,000 but are happy to hear from projects that can justify the case for additional costs up to a maximum of £15,000.
