The Community Climate and Nature Fund is an initiative run by Stratford-on-Avon District Council that provides funding to local councils, community groups and charities to reduce carbon emissions and improve local biodiversity.

Since it was set up in November 2023, £250,000 has been allocated to local initiatives by the scheme across 53 projects.

The latest round ended in April 2026, and the following projects supporting wildlife received funding:

• £3,971 to Tysoe Parish Council and Tysoe Wildlife Group to preserve and enhance local swift and hedgehog populations
• £5,110 to Stratford Beekeepers’ Association to fund equipment and events to defend against the impacts of the Yellow Legged Asian Hornet
• £5,000 to Long Compton Action Group to clear vegetation and debris from Nethercote Brook

The Community Climate and Nature Fund has been reopened for a Fourth Round. The budget for this round is £200,000, and the upcoming deadline for applications is Monday 27 July 2026.
