Project Voting

PROJECT VOTING NOW LIVE!!!! 26 March - 9 April 2021

Twice a year, we receive applications from conservation organisations with projects that they would like us to consider funding. Following a rigorous selection procedure, we create a shortlist of projects we would be very happy to fund. Since we can not fund them all, we ask for YOUR help in choosing three projects to receive funding!!  
We put our shortlisted projects into 3 categories. This time, all projects looking for funding are addressing biodiversity loss and the climate emergency, in a wide range of habitats and landscapes. This is in line with our new 2 year focus; Wild for Nature: EOCA's Landscape Legacy Project.  The categories this time relate to the type of habitat the projects are working in.

Please get involved by choosing your favourite project in each category. The project which receives the most votes in each category will receive the funding they have requested from EOCA.
 

All of our great shortlisted projects address a threat to a species or a habitat AND have a link to the outdoor enthusiast.  The 3 categories of our spring 2021 project vote are:

WATER - includes projects working to conserve oceans, freshwater lakes, rivers and streams and wetlands

FOREST - includes projects working on forest restoration, reforestation, conservation, enhancement and carbon sequestration

WILD PLACES includes projects conserving biodiversity and habitats, particularly those which sequester carbon such as peatlands

We are delighted that our Forest category is also been presented by Suston Magazine (see below).

PLEASE NOTE:  You can vote in each of the categories for your favourite project.  You can however vote only once in each category per electronic device - either on this website OR on the website of our magazine partner.  

Voting takes place in March and October each year.  To be alerted to the vote starting, please follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or Twitter, or sign up to our newsletter via this website.

SPRING 2021 VOTING WILL RUN 26 MARCH (00.01 GMT/ 01.01 CET) UNTIL 9 APRIL 12 NOON (BST / GMT+1) / 13.00 (CEST / GMT +2)

The funding is enabling us to repair a damaged section of the iconic Three Peaks long distance footpath and restore an area of internationally important upland habitat. Voting for our project was a simple but highly effective way for our supporters to show how strongly they felt about improving access and protecting the landscape of this wonderful area. Thank you, EOCA!
