Rewilding Innovation Summer 2025 Funding Round Open

Rewilding Britain is inviting applications for its Rewilding Innovation Fund, designed to support pioneering rewilding projects across Britain and remove key barriers to progress.

The fund is open to rewilding initiatives covering an area of more than 40 hectares. It is suitable for projects in the early planning phase or those seeking to scale up existing efforts, provided they align with Rewilding Britain’s rewilding principles.

What the Fund Can Support

Grants can be used to finance a variety of costs, including:

• Business plans and development strategies
• Community engagement and co-design work
• Feasibility studies
• Innovative technologies and tools
• Direct interventions or external expertise

Funding Details

Grants of up to £15,000 are available, although most awards will be under £10,000. The funding aims to unlock further investment or increase the scale and impact of rewilding work.

Who Can Apply?

To be eligible, applicants must be members of the Rewilding Network. Membership is free and offers access to a peer network of rewilding projects and guidance.

Application Deadline

The deadline for applications for the summer 2025 round is 29 August 2025. There are two funding rounds each year—typically in the new year and in summer. <
