Pine Marten Community Grants

The Pine Marten Community Grant offers community and nature groups, schools, businesses and landowners an exciting opportunity to support pine marten recovery in the south west of England.

What will the grant fund?

The Community Grants Scheme welcomes a broad range of creative applications and ideas. Consideration will be given to all applications that can demonstrate a tangible benefit to pine marten and woodland recovery in the south west through habitat management and by supporting pine marten champions and nature recovery scientists.

For example, the Grant could be used to support habitat management and creation for pine martens (i.e. any work that supports denning creation or retention, natural food provision and habitat connectivity across the landscape). It can also be used to support the monitoring of pine martens, to raise the awareness of pine martens, and for training and upskilling of land workers and nature enthusiasts to produce the woodland and pine marten champions of the future.

How much?

The Community Grant welcomes individual projects up to £500 and will consider larger projects up to £1000. Priority will be given to applications that can demonstrate match-funding and/or in-kind contributions given.
