Fife Living Water

The restoration of Cowdenbeath Wetland and the creation of freshwater at Swan Pond, Cowdenbeath. Cowdenbeath Wetland which is situated in Cowdenbeath is, due to late succession, no longer functioning as a wetland, with the freshwater bodies heavily vegetated preventing them from holding water.

Wasted space, an Urban Transformation

Wasted Space, an Urban Transformation will support volunteers and community groups to deliver activities to boost biodiversity and transform otherwise wasted community spaces into wildlife havens on their doorstep. It will improve the wellbeing of a wide range of local people and the project will equip them with the skills and knowledge to protect the nature in their neighbourhood going forward.

Keep Britain Tidy

Ocean Recovery project

We are seeking funding to expand our successful pilot project in SW England to prevent the dumping redundant fishing nets at sea. These ‘ghost nets’ are greatly damaging to marine ecosystems and habitats. We are developing a viable long-term solution through a UK-based recycling system. This will promote the health and resilience of our marine eco-systems, habitats and native species.

Buglife The Invertebrate Conservation Trust

Pollinators along the Tweed

The project will help protect threatened pollinator insects such as bees and butterflies within the River Tweed catchment, crossing the England-Scotland border. By restoring wildflower meadows and grasslands, Buglife will protect biodiversity and enable insect populations to recover and flourish. The project will support communities, schools and businesses to improve local greenspaces for wildlife, and contribute to peoples’ health and wellbeing.

Ocean Conservation Trust

Seagrass Restoration Co-operative

Seagrasses are one of the most valuable habitats on the planet. They absorb carbon, are a nursery for fish and reduce coastal erosion. UK seagrasses are declining. This project seeks to pilot an innovative and holistic process to enable large-scale restoration. Our legacy will be a blueprint for increased carbon sequestration and biodiversity plus support for fisheries and coastal communities.
