This could include improving ponds, woodlands, meadows and other green spaces to make them more wildlife friendly. Create new habitats by planting nectar-rich flowers, fruit-bearing trees or shrubs.

They prioritise applications from volunteer groups who: work in areas where there is substantial social or economic deprivation; improve and develop the health and wellbeing of their local community; involve disabled people, vulnerable people or those at risk of exclusion; encourage and involve people under 26 in practical outdoor conservation.
