Environment grant applications extended
Environment Enhancement grant applications extended
Landowners and groups working to protect and enhance native biodiversity in Canterbury have another two weeks to apply for financial assistance through Environment Canterbury’s Environment Enhancement Fund. The closing date for applications has been extended from the end of August to Friday September 14, 2007.
Applicants can
receive up to $5,000 for a project that contributes to the
region's indigenous biodiversity.
This year the fund has
approximately $200,000 available for grants - $150,000 from
Environment Canterbury’s Environment Enhancement Fund, and
another $50,000 from the Honda TreeFund.
The Environment
Enhancement Fund provides grants for usually no more than 50
percent of a project’s total cost. Application forms and
further information on the programme are available from
Environment Canterbury’s website on www.ecan.co.nz/eef
