The Rewilding Innovation Fund aims to remove barriers to rewilding across Britain. Whether your site or project is in the early planning stages or looking to try out a new approach, you can apply to this fund.
From business plans to feasibility studies, community engagement to trialling the latest technology, Rewilding Britain funds works that could potentially unlock further funding for you or move you up the rewilding scale.
They choose the projects they consider will have the highest impact on people and nature, on land and sea, with opportunities for shared learning with the Rewilding Network.
Who can apply?
To apply for funding – of up £15,000 – projects must:
- be based in Britain (England, Wales and Scotland)
- cover at least 40 hectares of contiguous land or have a marine rewilding project of any size
- be part of the Rewilding Network (you may join at the point of application)
- rewilding (or about to) at scale – potentially as a group of landowners or project partners – and to their rewilding principles
