WWF Cymru Community Grants

Spending time in nature can do wonders for your mental health - boosting your mood, cutting down stress, easing anxiety, and even helping with confidence. That's why we've provided community grants to support access and connection to nature across Wales. 

The WWF Cymru  2025 Community Grant scheme is now closed.

Earth Hour Wales Street Art

You can still see our Earth Hour street art project from 2021!

Working with Bardd Plant Cymru, Literature Wales and Peaceful Progress, the murals were created with the words of local school children, in three locations across Wales – Treorchy, Cardigan and Rhyl.

If you spot them, don’t forget to take a picture and share it with #EarthHourWales.

WHAT IS EARTH HOUR?

It’s the moment millions of people around the world show they care about the future of our planet.  

Everyone has a part to play in making that happen. Will you join the movement? 

Give an hour to Earth - connect with nature, your community and with people around the world.

Get involved

Whether it’s switching off from distractions for an hour or spending time with others – Earth Hour’s a time to reconnect to what’s important.

Get involved 

You’re not alone! Millions of others are switching off for Earth Hour across the world – join the conversation on social media for inspiration and share what you’re doing. #EarthHourWales 

Get creative

Switching off for Earth Hour doesn't have to mean being in total darkness! You could create a lantern or a puppet then bring them to life during the hour using a torch or candlelight. 

Get thinking

Use the hour to talk to friends and families about the things that are important to you.
