· Medium-Scale Habitat Enhancement Scheme: projects delivered by small to medium-sized NGOs e.g. rivers or wildlife trusts.

· Contribution to Wild Trout Conservation: aimed at amateur community groups (e.g. fishing clubs or other conservation groups) whose voluntary efforts, either through delivery of a specific habitat enhancement project and/or general ethos of management, have furthered the cause for wild trout conservation.

Guidance on Supporting Documents

You may submit up to 2 additional documents to support your application. Please do not submit comprehensive final project reports or similar large, documents. At this stage, we are looking to prioritise projects for interview, so useful additional documents include before and after photos, a map showing what has been done where on the river or lake, one example of how the project has been disseminated to others (e.g. newsletter or local news article) or monitoring reports (ideally the results!).

If your project is selected for final consideration, the panel of judges may ask you to submit additional supporting documentation, if available.

Thank you and good luck.
