How LEADER Funding Supports Biodiversity in Rural Communities

Every day, rural communities play a vital role in sustaining Ireland’s natural environment. LEADER funding provides support for existing and new initiatives that aim to sustain, protect, and improve our rural environment. By empowering local groups, LEADER helps communities take action to safeguard local wildlife and enhance natural habitats.

Whether it’s a community-led conservation project, environmental awareness campaign, or small-scale habitat improvement initiative, LEADER funding can provide the resources needed to make a tangible impact. This support helps maintain biodiversity, improve rural landscapes, and create greener, healthier spaces for both people and wildlife.

If your community group is looking to develop a project that benefits the environment, LEADER funding may be able to help. Together, we can nurture rural habitats, protect native species, and strengthen the connection between communities and nature.
