Grants for agriculture, horticulture and the environment
The Howard Davis Farm Trust was set up in 2008 by the States of Jersey to provide funding support for education, research or projects associated with agriculture, horticulture and the environment. Since its launch, several projects undertaken by an impressive number of successful applicants have benefited greatly from its grant scheme.
Direct assistance is awarded throughout each year to any group or individual seeking financial support deemed consistent with the spirit and intentions of T B Davis, the Trust's generous benefactor, who purchased and donated Parkfield, Trinity, to the States of Jersey for the purpose of establishing an experimental, educational and research farm for the benefit of the Island's farmers and growers. The property was renamed Howard Davis Farm in memory of his son, Howard, who was killed in the Battle of the Somme during the First World War.
In the spirit of T B Davis' aims and objectives, full consideration will be given to any application relating to training, research, protection, enhancement and monitoring within the bounds of agriculture, horticulture and the natural environment.
The Objects of the Trust are to promote:
Training and research in respect of agriculture and horticulture in Jersey and/or other countries or territories.
The protection, enhancement, monitoring of, and training with regard to and research into the environment of Jersey and/or of other countries or territories.
The Trust also monitors the objectives referred to in (a) and (b) above.
Applications should be made using the form below, giving as much information as possible, including personal details, previous education or experience, details of the course, and full information on the research or project being applied for, together with the total costs involved if known.
Please note: applications for courses or projects already commenced or completed will not be considered other than in exceptional circumstances.
