Funding to limit recreational disturbance and damage along Suffolk's coast

The Wildlife Wise project fund is to be used to support stakeholders, partnership organisations, and voluntary and community groups to directly deliver projects that will reduce or prevent recreational disturbance and damage to internationally important wildlife sites (European sites).

Wildlife Wise is the project brand name for the Suffolk Coast Recreational Disturbance Avoidance Mitigation Strategy (RAMS) partnership. The project aim is to avoid and reduce recreational disturbance and damage on internationally important wildlife sites which are designated for their rare birds, other wildlife and habitats (European sites).

You can find out more about recreational disturbance and its impact on wildlife on their blog – What is recreational disturbance?

We will be looking to fund projects which support the Suffolk Coast RAMS priorities indicated within the current RAMS strategy.

The allocation to specific projects is made as a small grant of up to £5,000.

Applicant partner organisations can seek full funding or use Wildlife Wise grants as match funding for a larger project.
