The Big Lottery Fund has launched a new small grant programme for communities that want to come together to explore, protect and celebrate wildlife.

BIG has teamed up with the BBC Wildlife Fund’s Go Wild Campaign to develop the Community Wildlife programme.

The programme offers grants of between £300 – £10,000 to not-for-profit groups, local councils, schools and health bodies who want to get local communities more involved in their local wildlife.

Projects can range from  discovering local wildlife areas or animals, learning more about local wildlife, or creating or enhancing local wildlife areas.
