The LDTCS funds projects with a focus on Biodiversity, Waste Minimisation and the reduction of Waste to Landfill and Wider Environmental Enhancements.

The previous nine rounds of LDTCS have funded some great projects which are making positive environmental enhancements in their locality with the support of the community. From the reintroduction of pine martens to reuse of discarded plastics, there is a variety of activity happening across Wales.

You can read more about the projects already running in Wales from here.

NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT GRANT

This round is also open to applications to the Nationally Significant grant, which offers funding for one nationally significant project with a value of between £50,000 – £250,000 which will contribute to two or more of the fund’s themes.
