Environmental projects in Northern Ireland that connect people with nature, improve habitats or help tackle threats facing our natural environment such as the decline of native species are being urged to apply for funding.
Environment Minister Edwin Poots said applications for the £2 million Environmental Challenge Competition, one of three strands of the Environment Fund, must be received by
noon on June 1, 2021.
“We are looking for not for profit organisations and councils to apply for funding to help the recovery of nature and to help connect people with nature. So projects might include the creation of nature-rich trails and walkways, outdoor recreation facilities or protection of our coastline, the restoration of habitats and peatlands,” the Minister explained.
