Learn how landowners can receive financial support to design new woodland projects on their land.
This scheme provides financial support to help cover the costs of designing a new woodland project.
Who it's for
This grant is available to landowners who are planning to plant trees on a piece of land that covers at least 5 hectares.
What you get
You receive a contribution to help pay for the professional costs of designing your woodland project. This helps reduce the initial financial burden of planning a new area of trees.
What it costs you
