Community grant application.

The Hilsea Lines Conservation Volunteers are trying to get a £6,000 grant from the NatWest community force group.

The grant scheme runs as a competition with the top three wining the grant so we need your votes.

UPDATE:

I'm sorry to say that we were not awarded the grant. However, we were very close maybe next year we will be able to get those extra votes. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those people who participated and voted for us.

The grant will enable us to:-





Volunteer at work


• Improve the Biodiversity of the site.
• Improve access for the public.

If we are successful in securing the grant then we will be able to improve access further and to maintain the parts of the site that have been restored and managed already.



Woodland walk at Hilsea



We have a specific project in mind should we get this funding and that is to open up the canopy and widen the rides which will allow more light to reach the ground flora. Whilst at the same time opening up site lines within the woodland which will give the site a lighter more welcoming appearance for visitors.
