The ECO Fund supports both work on the ground and projects with an education or awareness-raising focus, both large and small.
On this map you can zoom in to see projects. The icons indicate what the project focus is on, including:
Most projects have more than one focus, e.g. "Native flora" will often also include education, supporting threatened species, and managing pest plants.
As well as zooming in to see projects in an area, you can use the search to look for a keyword. As you type applicant names will appear in the drop down. Select one of these and then you can click the magnifying glass to zoom to the map or read the information that pops up.
