Midler til naturrestaurering (kap. 1420 post 31)

This funding program from the Norwegian Environment Agency (Miljødirektoratet) provides grants for the restoration of degraded nature both inside and outside protected areas. The funds are intended for implementing concrete restoration measures and necessary preliminary assessments. Cost-effective measures are prioritized, and restoration must be carried out in agreement with landowners and rights holders. The program also covers needs for funding to remove non-native tree species in protected areas. Only the County Governors (Statsforvalteren) and protected area boards (verneområdestyrene) are eligible to apply for these restoration funds.
