Ecological Education Grants

The Ecological Education Grants (EEGs) are to enable teachers to make the teaching of ecology more innovative, interesting and exciting. (If you are an Ecologists and you would like to take a group of students to help you on your research work, please also see our Field Experience Grant).

Ask a successful ecologist what originally fired his or her enthusiasm for ecology and many will tell you that it was a teacher at school who passed on their enthusiasm more often than not through a field course. Teachers are in the front line transmitting not only knowledge but enthusiasm. The British Ecological Society realises that the best way to get the message across to young people that ecology is an exciting science is to support, encourage and equip teachers.

Applications are accepted from the UK without having to be a BES member and from any other country if the principle applicant is a BES member.

The current BES education grants are as follows:

If you are seeking grants to improve your school grounds for wildlife and ecological education please do look at the other funders section of our website.

If you are a conservation worker or researcher in a developing country and are in need of ecology and conservation books, the Gratis Book Scheme may be for you.
