The Force for Nature mini-grant scheme, aimed at supporting conservation efforts in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, is back open for applications.

The fund can help projects like wildflower meadow creation and tree planting.
Applications can be submitted by not-for-profit organisations and businesses in Pembrokeshire.
Preference will be given to applications from Boncath, Cilgerran, Clydau, Cwm Gwaun, Moylegrove, Pembroke, Stackpole and Castlemartin, Hundleton, Angle, Newport, Fishguard and Goodwick, Crymych, Eglwyswrw, and Nevern.
Director of the Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust, Katie Macro said: "The Force for Nature mini-grant scheme exemplifies our commitment to empowering local communities to take meaningful actions for conservation and environmental sustainability.
"We are thrilled to see the incredible impact of these projects and look forward to supporting more initiatives that protect and enhance the natural beauty of Pembrokeshire."
The deadline for this round of applications is Sunday September 1, with decisions made within four weeks from the application cutoff.
All funded initiatives must be completed by February 28, 2025, with no matching funds required.
