The Community Wildlife Fund
is currently closed for applications.
Community groups in North Devon and Torridge Districts wanting to carry out small scale projects that both benefit wildlife and involve the community can apply to the Tarka Country Trust’s Biodiversity Awards.
The Community Wildlife Fund supported some excellent community projects including:
- North Devon Moving Image CIC for “Wild Shorts” – a wildlife and environmental short film competition
- North Devon Barn Owl Box Project for supply of free barn owl boxes for farmers with suitable buildings and habitat
- Gaia Trust for creation and management of bird scrapes at Home Farm Marsh, Fremington
- The Greater Horseshoe Bat Viewing Platform, which was been built to help people view these rare mammals near Braunton
- Meddon Green Local Nature Reserve to help carry out pond clearance, access improvements and interpretation
