Project News: Helping you make the best possible wildlife ponds |
|||
If you are thinking about creating ponds, take a look at the Million Ponds Project’s newly updated and expanded Pond Creation Toolkit. This impressive collection of factsheets, plus an interactive online mapping tool, has been published to help everyone make the most of pond creation opportunities, ensuring new ponds are splendiferous wildlife-rich gems rather than mediocre murky mud pits.

The Big Tree Plant: Funding Scheme Open for Applications |
|||
The goal is to plant 1 million trees in the next four years!
The Big Tree Plant, a campaign aimed at encouraging people and communities in England to plant more trees where they work and live, has re-opened its grants scheme for applications. Over 30 projects from a wide range of community groups have so far been offered £1.6m funding as part of this scheme. These projects alone aim to plant an additional 295,000 trees over the coming four years. The next application deadline is 5pm on 5 September 2011 so there is still time to prepare your application. A new easier to use application form has been produced and clear information can be found on The Big Tree Plant website. |
