WOODLAND GRANT SCHEMES

Countryside Stewardship offers grants for woodland management plans, woodland tree health, restoration and improvement. Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier Grants are funding streams for more environmentally significant sites, such as woodlands. These grants allow owners to apply for management options multi-years grants, most lasting for 5 years, and also capital grants for specific items.

Woodland Creation Planning Grant and the Woodland Carbon Fund

There are grants currently available through the Forestry Commission, initially starting with a Woodland Creation Planning Grant which helps to cover the cost of producing a UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) compliant Woodland Creation Plan. This is a pre-curser for applying for the Woodland Carbon Fund.

The Woodland Carbon Fund provides funding to support the planting of multi-purpose woodlands in England of at least 10 hectares in size. Maximum grants available range from £6800.00 and £8500.00 per hectare, depending on the site.

We pride ourselves on keeping abreast of the current grant funding opportunities through all funding avenues so that we can keep our clients fully informed in the best routes to secure grant funding for their woodlands.
