Forestry creation grants up for grabs
Forestry Commission England’s Woodland Carbon Fund supports the planting of multipurpose woodlands of more than 30 hectares, providing opportunities to work at a landscape scale and improve public access to woodland.
It offers a maximum grant rate of £6,800 per hectare or £8,500 for areas around urban fringes and for those who provide permissive access to the public.
