Information & advice
Sources of funding
The Neroche Scheme can offer small grants towards the following:
- Management of marginal land of actual or potential value for wildlife, where that management cannot be funded from other sources, and where doing so would offer real benefits for the landscape, wildlife and farming economy of the Blackdown Hills. For more details contact Paul Allen of Somerset Wildlife Trust on 01823 652438.
- Community history projects, for example to restore a local heritage feature, record local oral history, or research past land uses. For more details please download the information sheet or contact Tanya James at the Neroche Office on 01823 680846.
In all cases grants are discretionary, and subject to application and assessment against standard guidelines. Supported projects must offer a clear public benefit, either in terms of direct public access, or the production of a public record or publication, or link into a wider set of public benefits.
