The Woodspring Trust is a UK registered charity which, from 2013 to 2026, offered funding to projects around the world with outstanding potential to achieve long lasting nature conservation outcomes.
The Trust typically awarded two to four grants each year.
The aims of the Trust were to promote:
- Research for the public benefit in the protection, improvement and conservation of the physical and natural environment and biodiversity.
- The conservation of the physical and natural environment by promoting biodiversity.
The Woodspring Trust awards provided successful projects with international recognition of their special, high potential to achieve outstanding nature conservation outcomes, and financial support to achieve these outcomes.
Applications were considered in terms of the likely benefit of the proposed project. The successful projects were those out of all applications which, in the view of the Trustees, had the highest potential to make the most substantial, lasting, positive impact on the conservation of biodiversity and the environment for the funds requested.
Awards ranged from £8 000 to £30 000. Funding opportunities closed in 2026.
