正文(英文) | Landowners, farmers and foresters can now apply for up to £6,800 per hectare to create new woodland on their property. From today (Tuesday 2 January 2018), applicants can apply for the Countryside Stewardship Woodland Creation Grant – a scheme to help landowners reap the environmental and financial benefits of woodland creation.

This grant has already supported two large-scale planting schemes in England this autumn: Doddington North Moor in Northumberland and the Lowther Estate in Cumbria. The Forestry Commission has appointed a new team of specialised woodland creation officers to assist landowners through the application process for large scale projects. More information on the funding options available is available here and applicants can contact the Forestry Commission for further advice and assistance. Case studyMr Hugh Davis, the owner of Treworder Barton Farm in Cornwall, has received funding from the Countryside Stewardship Woodland Creation Grant to plant a new productive woodland that enables him to quickly produce a crop of timber for wood markets.
