Grants of up to €5,000 are now available from the National Parks & Wildlife Service for small projects to record all aspects of natural history, writes Brian Byrne.

It's the third year of the scheme which has previously assisted in projects to monitor bats, moths, aquatic plants, snipes, and nature publications. Grants are aimed at volunteer, unpaid recorders, or groups, societies and associations of recorders who have limited or no access to financial supports for their work.

In general, a project is expected to be completed within 2021, however projects that extend into 2022 are eligible.
