Local environmental groups urged to apply for funding
SDLP South Down MLA Seán Rogers has urged local environmental groups to apply for the recently announced funding pot from Department of Environment.
Speaking to Newry Times, Rogers said, “There are some exceptional groups working hard to protect and promote our environment in a range of ways.
“Funding has been under threat and I very much welcome that the Minister has put aside a sum of money for local groups to access. I welcome his recognition that these groups need to be supported so they can continue in their areas of expertise.
“We live in an outstanding area with a range of habitats and it is up to us to ensure that our stunning surroundings are protected and celebrated. All groups wanting to apply for the 2015/16 have until the 10th December to submit an application,” he added.
