Individuals and organisations across Great Britain can now apply for grants to organise public engagement events in ecology.
Eligible applicants could include:
- Members of the British Ecological Society

The maximum award size is £2,000. However, this may be used as part-funding for larger projects involving other sponsors.
All projects must be consistent with at least two of the following objectives:
- Increase public understanding of, and engagement with, ecology.
- Stimulate discussion about ecology and its implications for society.
- Inspire and enthuse people of all ages about the science of ecology, especially those not previously interested.
- Develop skills in communicating the science of ecology.
All objectives must be aimed at a non-academic audience and all projects must provide a clear demonstration of direct interaction with the public.
