Community Habitat Restoration Grant

About this opportunity

Restoring a wetland edge, a native meadow or a community woodland is slow work that rarely attracts a funder. This grant funds the unglamorous costs — native plants, tree care, fencing, and volunteer coordination — that make a restoration project stick.

Eligibility requirements — read before applying

Community group, school, land trust or nonprofit with a site in mind
A written restoration plan with a defined area and timescale
Evidence the site is appropriate for the species proposed

1. Create a project profile and name your site.
2. Upload your restoration plan and a map of the site.
3. Provide a planting list and budget.
4. Submit — a restoration ecologist reviews within 6 weeks.
