CNC Research Forest Society (CNCRFS) is increasing its 2025 grant funding to $100,000 for ecosystem restoration.
This is on top of $60,000 for projects with a social and environmental benefit for communities.
They said in a news release, anyone with great ideas or existing projects can apply for the legacy fund grant but have to follow at least one of the following purposes:
- ecosystem restoration
- environmental rehabilitation
- environmental impact reduction, renewable natural resource education and/or outreach programs
- sustainable, low-impact recreation improvement
- social and environmental commitment to local communities
Manager CNC Research Forest and Interim Director, Applied Research and Innovation, Carl Pollard said “The projects from our funding recipients bring these areas together in very unique ways: from a food and garden in the forest to community interpretive trails and native plant restoration.”
Last year, CNCRFS awarded two legacy fund grants, one of which was for School District 91: Nechako Lakes receiving $50,000 to build an educational, interpretive trail system.
Since its inception in 2019, the fund has provided over $290,000 to individuals and organizations in North-Central BC.
Submission deadline is January 15th, 2025.
