New funding opportunity for conservation groups
/Auckland Council is offering a one-off grant opportunity for conservation groups to cover essential planning, administrative and project facilitation costs.
This opportunity is designed to help community-led Pest Free Auckland/ regional biodiversity outcomes through increasing councils support for groups (the term loosely includes any entity involved in community-led conservation – organisations, schools, iwi, groups…..) to overcome identified barriers to participation. To do this, we have developed a one year, one off grant (at this stage) delivered through an Expression of Interest in Smarty Grants with the development of a more inclusive support package for groups that will be ‘co-designed’ alongside other NETR work in the future.
