This fund is run by the British Bryological Society following a major bequest from the late Trudy Side and further recent donations. Its objective is to promote bryological activities at home or abroad, including field work, attending meetings and publishing the results of research. The Bequest Committee cordially invites your application. Applications are especially welcome from amateurs and those under 25 years of age, but awards will be considered for any bryological activity which does not form part of a professional employment. The application should say how the award will be used, and should include a budget setting out the financial support needed and the proposed expenditure in as much detail as possible. Please also enclose a note on your own botanical background.

Send your application to the Bequest Committee through the Treasurer (address below) who will be pleased to give further information or advice if needed.
