Greenprints is being set up to encourage 16- to 25-year-olds to get involved in environmental projects in their areas.
John Healey, MP for Wentworth in Rotherham, will launch the scheme at a nature reserve in Doncaster on Friday. It will be managed by the SITA Trust - an offshoot of waste management company SITA that allocates funding from the Landfill Communities Fund - and environmental charity BTCV.
Volunteers will be able to apply for small grants for one- or two-day projects, headed by BTCV and the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts, or up to 10,000 for larger projects taking place over several months. The SITA Trust and youth volunteering charity v have each put in 1m for the two-year scheme.
