A GLENKENS community project has received over £12,000 for a habitat restoration project.
The £12,916 funding was awarded to St John’s Town of Dalry Community Council and Glenkens Nature Networks for a feasibility study and baseline studies to explore potential for community groups to support a habitat restoration.
It was one of the projects to receive backing from the latest round of the Neighbourhood Ecosystem Fund. The Fund is a collective philanthropic effort by the Carman Family Foundation, the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, and is managed and administered by Inspiring Scotland.
Celia Tennant, chief executive of Inspiring Scotland, said: “The level of demand for the fund demonstrates the continuing enthusiasm for and need to support early-stage development in local nature restoration initiatives. We are pleased to be partnering with funders who are committed to empowering communities by funding the development stages of locally-based ecosystem restoration.”
