It is a condition of WREN funding that an overivew of the project's aims and outcomes are reported through the web-based Biodiversity Action Report System (BARS). WREN will arrange for you to receive help in registering your project if required. You will not be able to start your project until you confirm your project has been registered with BARS.

All projects must have a Funding Agreement, drawn up by WREN, in place and the contributing third party paid prior to any work commencing. Failure to comply with this may result in funding being withdrawn.

Any project which fails to start within 12 months of the date of the offer letter from WREN will have its offer of support reviewed.
