Environmental Grant Programme: Nelson City Council
Help our environment thrive with an environmental grant.
Do you look after a stream, plant natives, or run trap lines in your neighbourhood? Council’s Environmental Grant Programme could help you do more.
The grants support projects that protect, enhance and restore the health of Whakatū Nelson’s environment. This year’s priorities include wetland and stream-side restoration, pest control, protecting Significant Natural Areas, reducing erosion on farmland and forestry land, and restoring our coastal areas.
Support can be money, professional ecological advice, trapping equipment or native plants. Individuals and groups working within Nelson city boundaries can apply.
Up to $20,000 is available per project in any one year. Funds are limited, so applications for up to $5,000 are more likely to succeed. Erosion control projects are the exception and can seek more.
Applications are open now and close on 5 October 2026. Site visits and assessments will take place in October and November, with agreements signed in December.
