- painting community murals showcasing biodiversity in the area
- building a community garden
- creating a nature walk
- hiring a speaker to come and talk about local foraging.
Adult applicants should develop their proposal alongside young people and the projects should seek to affect change or empower local young people and their surrounding communities to increase access to natural spaces and improve understanding of the local biodiversity.
