CINNG
Community Invasive Non-Native Group; bringing people and the environment together to improve the health and wellbeing of both.
CINNG, the community invasive non-native species group, is seeking expressions of interest for the £10K CINNG Legacy Fund. This fund is open to current projects in England tackling invasive non-native species through significant community involvement.
The expression of interest should explain:
- how the funds will be used to tackle INNS through community involvement
- the relationship of the proposed work to the existing project (including information on the project host)
- how the fund will support CINNG’s aims
Expressions of interest should be brief (< 1 side of A4) and make limited use of external links to supporting information.

CINNG is a Local Action Group based in Cornwall and working throughout South West England. CINNG raises awareness of the adverse impacts of Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) on the natural environment and the ecosystem goods and services it provides. We work with community volunteers and relevant organizations (e.g. utility companies, national charities and government agencies) to conserve, protect and improve the natural environment by reducing the impact of INNS.
CINNG often work with other organisations including South West Lakes Trust, South West Water, CABI, National Trust, Cornwall Reptile and Amphibian Group and Cornwall Butterfly Conservation. This collaboration allows actions to have a greater impact and sharing of expert knowledge.
Current projects include: –
Marine pathways mapping
Rapid response planning
Zebra mussel control
Environmental social prescribing as a tool to engage and empower people
Production of awareness raising materials
