Farming For Nature’s role is education, dissemination and promotion of nature-friendly farming practices (which farmers can often do themselves) as well as supporting actions for nature. Your contribution below could fund these actions as well as making a contribution towards our work to bring more farmers on board with nature-friendly farming and share best practice.

High impact Programmes
We invite companies and philanthropic organisations to contact us directly with our high impact programmes that need support. With these programmes we ask companies to consider a 3-5 years partnership with annual support so that it allows this small organisation to plan ahead.
We have tailored documents on each of these and can give a more personalise attention to the partnership.
These include:
- The annual National Farming For Nature Ambassador Awards
- A nation-wide Horse Mouth Mentorship programme
- A nation-wide Pond building programme
- Building up the Farming For Nature Network.
Please note that Farming For Nature only takes long term funding from partners who align with and support our work. We have a funding raising policy here (TBD). Please review before your company commits to organisation so you know you are aligned with our values.
Contact us directly at [email protected] to discuss High Impact Programmes more.
To achieve the annual Farming For Nature strategic plan we have to find approximately €300,000 each year to carry out our 20 different programmes. 50% of that is currently supported by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine but has be to sourced annually. We could do more with your help.
