The Linnean Society’s “Our Local Nature Grant Scheme” is an initiative aimed at empowering young people across the UK to lead projects that engage their communities with local natural spaces.
This program encourages youth to take ownership of initiatives that enhance access to nature and deepen understanding of local biodiversity.
Each year, the Linnean Society allocates up to £1,000 per project, with many grants falling between £150 and £1,000. The funding supports a wide range of activities, including the creation of community gardens, educational workshops, nature trails, and biodiversity awareness campaigns. The focus is on youth-led projects that foster environmental stewardship and community involvement.
Eligible applicants include schools, youth groups, community organizations, and small charities that work closely with young people. The application process is designed to be straightforward, allowing young individuals to propose and develop their ideas with adult support. The Linnean Society encourages applications from diverse regions across the UK, aiming to support projects that have a lasting impact on local communities.
The grant scheme not only provides financial support but also offers young people the opportunity to develop leadership skills, collaborate with peers, and contribute to the conservation and appreciation of local natural environments. By fostering youth-led initiatives, the Linnean Society aims to inspire the next generation of environmental leaders and advocates.
