DEADLINE: 7 September 2025
Rewilding Europe invites members of the European Young Rewilders (EYR) to apply for funding to carry out inspiring, impactful actions that contribute to rewilding in their own region or community.
Empowering Young Rewilders
Our goal is to support young people to take action to raise awareness of rewilding, influence local decision-making, or encourage wider engagement. By reimbursing practical costs, we aim to make it easier for motivated young people to become ambassadors for rewilding.
By carrying out these activities you become a EYR volunteer and will join a team of like-minded young people.
Why this funding exists
Rewilding Europe believes in the power of young people to make a difference. This small-scale funding opportunity helps remove financial barriers so members can act for nature and become ambassadors for rewilding.
What can you do?
In this call for proposals, we prioritise activities such as local events, awareness-raising, participation in planning processes, or creative forms of communication. We particularly welcome activities that are recurring, repeated or make up a longer project (like a series of lectures or events).
