Steve Pitcher Biodiversity Awards
The Steve Pitcher Biodiversity Awards are currently closed for applications. The closing date for submission was 31st October 2025.
The Biodiversity Awards have been renamed in memory of Steve Pitcher who was both Tarka Country Trustee and an important achiever for many environmental causes.
Each of the four successful Biodiversity Awards for 2025 came as a package which included a grant of up to £500 and individualised support from a Trustee. The Awards were open for individuals and community groups in the North Devon Biosphere to carry out projects to help local wildlife.
