Moorscapes Community Grants

Are you part of a community group working to benefit wildlife, people and heritage?

Do you have an idea for a project but need some support accessing funding to make it happen?Dartmoor's Dynamic Landscapes area map

If you are  located within the Dartmoor’s Dynamic Landscapes area, ( or your project has clear links to the area ) , we may be able to help.

Dartmoor’s Dynamic Landscapes are awarding grants of between £500 and £5,000 to support community groups in making  project ideas a reality.

Interested? Read through the eligibility checklist below and if you answer ‘yes’ to all the questions, we encourage you to get in touch using the form, linked lower down this page.

Eligibility questions

Will your application come from a community group?

Are you and your project based within Dartmoor’s Dynamic Landscapes catchment area (or can evidence clear links to the area)?

Is the aim of your project to benefit one or more of the following?

  • Create better access to nature for a wide range of people
  • Celebrate and learn about landscape heritage
  • Gather information, vital to understanding our natural heritage, through Citizen Science
  • Improve our knowledge and skills, and the application of these to benefit natural heritage
  • Enhance and restore nature

Will your project benefit the wider public (rather than solely individual interests)?

If the project is of a practical nature, is the place under the control of a public or community organisation or on publicly accessible land?

If you know that regulations or restrictions apply to the work, do you have permission to carry out the project in the place/way you plan to do it?

Next steps

If you have an idea for a project, get in touch with us using the contact form here. Tell us about your ideas and how they will help the wider community.  We will get back to you with any questions and to talk more about your ideas.

If we think your project has a good chance of being awarded Moorscapes funding we will help you complete a full application form.  Decisions about which projects receive funding are made by an independent panel, made up of local people who have a good understanding of our aims and what will best serve those in the DDL catchment area.
