Natural Heritage Grant Programme

We (NIEA) administer the Natural Heritage Grant Programme (NHGP) to support projects in Northern Ireland to:

• encourage the conservation and enhancement of key elements of the environment and its wildlife
  
• providing facilities which help as wide a range of people as possible to enjoy and appreciate our natural heritage

The Natural Heritage Grant Programme can provide funding support towards projects carried out by voluntary bodies, councils and schools under three priority themes;

Nature - Biodiversity and Geodiversity

Conserving the diversity of wildlife, geology and landforms in Northern Ireland

Tomorrow's Landscapes

Maintaining and improving the landscape quality of the country and supporting its sustainable management

Countryside Access

Providing and promoting opportunities for sustainable access and countryside recreation
