Grow Wild is once again offering grants of up to £500 to young people in the UK aged 14-25 to bring their nature project to life this summer.

Individuals or groups of up to six people can apply for a grant to support an innovative project idea to celebrate why UK native plants and/or fungi are so special.

Organisations supporting young people with their project must be established, relevant and charitable in purpose or not for profit. This includes voluntary, youth or community groups, education bodies, arts or environmental charities, local authorities, other council bodies or health authorities.

Grant recipients will receive:

£500 grant for the project which can be used for anything needed such as materials, equipment, resources or helpful training.
Support and online training from Grow Wild.
Opportunities to connect with a community of young nature enthusiasts completing projects across the UK.
The chance to complete Kew's Young Environmental Leader Award designed to work alongside their Grow Wild project and recognise their achievements.

There is particular interest in applications from people who don’t know much about UK native species.

Successful projects can be started in May 2024 and must be completed by the end of October 2024.

The deadline for applications is 19 March 2024 (15:00).
