Grants For School Ground Developments (UK)

Grants For School Ground Developments (UK)

The British Ecological Society (BES) provides grants of up to £1,000 to support initiatives that promotes the development of school grounds for the teaching of Ecology in an outdoor setting.

The funding is available towards such activities as for example of building a school pond or developing a nature reserve within the school grounds. The BES would like to promote the use of ecological areas within the wider communities and would hope that schools do not restrict their projects to specific year groups or keystages. Applications which can show greater commitment to the wider community are more likely to succeed. In addition the BES is willing to part fund larger projects which have already received funding from other sources. There are three application deadlines per year; the 31st January; 30th April and the 30th September.
