Grants are restricted to projects focused entirely within Cofnod’s area (Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham) and cannot be used in part to record or digitise data outside of North Wales.
Projects eligible for the grant must demonstrate how they will lead to greater knowledge of the species in our region and contribute to the data held by Cofnod. Furthermore, your project outline should show how it will help fill gaps in our data, especially in underrepresented groups or geographic areas
Examples of projects we will fund include:
- Digitising paper records - priority given to recent data, underrepresented taxa or those with poor geographic coverage.
- Acquiring data management tools, including upgrading software.
- Training linked to increasing knowledge and skills in biological recording.
- Publication of atlases and checklists.
- Purchase of field survey equipment including identification guides.
- Promotional activities to encourage greater recording or increase capacity.
