Two of WOS’s key objectives are to support studies to further the knowledge of birds in Wales and to contribute to the conservation of the birds of Wales. We’ve been concerned that we haven’t been receiving many applications for the grants we offer to members to support local and regional research studies and we want to do more to encourage and support community-based involvement into the  birds of Wales and their conservation. Please follow the links for each type of grant to find out more and how to apply.

We also reward original student research and lifetime contributions to ornithology in Wales. Please click on the boxes to find out how to apply for a Student Research Award and how to nominate someone for a Lifetime Achievement Award.
