The Nature-based Solutions for Climate programme offers one-off grants to partnership-led pilot projects. Projects must achieve habitat creation and restoration at a landscape scale – an area of at least 500 hectares in size.

Successful applications will receive part of a £5 million pot from public funding.

The programme aims to:

• learn how carbon accumulates in, and is released from, different habitats across the country
• show how private and public funding can combine to achieve economically viable and long-term environmental objectives
• understand the benefits of considering nature-based solutions at the landscape scale
• provide evidence to inform future grant schemes.

Your application must include specific habitats, such as:

• native woodland
• peaty pockets
• hedgerows
• heath
• fen
• semi-natural grassland

Project proposals should consider multiple benefits, such as:

• water quality and water management
• local biodiversity
• access and community engagement
• wider habitat connectivity
