The East Devon National Landscape offers grant funding to individuals, businesses, landowners, community groups and charities for projects that help conserve and enhance the National Landscape. There are a few different programmes on offer, each with its own eligibility criteria and purpose.

Farming in Protected Landscapes Fund

Grants for farmers and land managers for one-off projects that deliver benefits under four core themes of Nature Recovery, Climate Change, People and Place. You can’t apply for items covered under other existing government farming schemes such as Country Stewardship.

Is the fund open or closed to applications? Open.

East Devon National Landscape Fund

East Devon National Landscape is a nationally important protected landscape, with vibrant communities and a wealth of wildlife and heritage. To help support activities that keep the area special, the East Devon National Landscape Fund was created (previously known as Communities Project Fund). Anyone can apply for up to £4,000.

Is the fund open or closed to applications? Closed (expected to reopen April 2026)

Access for All

We’re on a mission to make the East Devon National Landscape welcoming for all! Grants are available for capital projects (e.g accessible paths, toilets, seating) that improve physical or digital accessibility of our National Landscape for all ages and abilities.  

Is the fund open or closed to applications? Open.
