Over the last year, we adapted our financial year to correspond with the government's, the government being our main source of funding. Our fiscal year and our biodiversity projects both begin in the spring in April, since that is when we must do our floristic inventory.
Last year, we received our answer in November, but we had submitted our request one year earlier. It is impossible for small community groups such as ours to work under such conditions. You would have to be a millionaire or have an incredible margin of credit to be able to manage.
We did manage in any case thanks to the support received from other funders, but it is impossible for small groups to work under such conditions.
