Countryside Management Grants

The Council aims to encourage active conservation projects for biodiversity net gain, species recovery projects, habitat landscape restoration work etc throughout the Ribble Valley aimed at conserving, enhancing and protecting our countryside and natural environment.

The Council aims to encourage national and regional conservation bodies to take an active role in the process and welcomes grant applications from appropriate organisations i.e. RSPB, Lancashire Wildlife Trust, Ancient Tree Forum, the Woodland Trust and properly constituted friends groups and similar conservation organisations.

The nature and extent of a proposed scheme will determine the appropriate level of grant and both larger scale projects and small schemes can be considered.

Please contact the Countryside Officer for more information.
