Caring for our natural environment
Caring for our natural environment
In this programme, we are seeking applications that aim to protect, restore and enhance our natural environment. You can find out more in this programme brief.
Applications are currently closed. We will re-open on 2 September 2025. You can sign up for application alerts at the bottom of this page.
Who should apply?
We are particularly interested in:
- Practical solutions to address nature degradation, its causes and effects, and how our natural environment can be improved.
- Applications that seek to increase understanding, appreciation and engagement by stakeholders and wider society, for example through education, communication, participation or policy initiatives.
- Projects that address the impact of changes in how we use and value our natural environment.
- Projects that seek fair and equitable access to nature’s benefits for all UK communities.
We recognise that our two environment-themed programmes – climate change and caring for our natural environment – are linked, and as such we welcome applications which straddle these two themes.
Examples of previous Fellowships
Fellows awarded in previous years have carried out projects in this area. You can explore their impact stories on Our Impact page.
