Get an ABBA Grant and help your local biodiversity!
Ruth Wilson, Biodiversity Officer with Antrim Borough Council explains, "These grants tie into the actions of the Antrim Borough Biodiversity Action (ABBA) Plan which looks at how we can conserve our biodiversity. It raises awareness on the importance and value of biodiversity and encourages action to halt its loss in the Borough of Antrim. It is an opportunity to work together to halt the loss of our valuable habitats and species, which benefit everyone in the Borough."
Ruth continues, “Awards will be limited to £500 for any site and will not exceed £1000 for any organisation. We hope the fund will encourage many local businesses, community groups and individuals to deliver actions within the Plan to safeguard the habitats and species it identifies. We look forward to new partners joining us as the biodiversity process and projects develop in the future.
The closing date for applications is Friday 24th February 2012. Applications forms are available by contacting Ruth Wilson T: 028 9446 3113 ext 1371 or E: ruth.wilson@antrim.gov.uk
