The National Forest Tree Planting Grants

The National Forest’s grant schemes are straightforward and offer funding of up to 100% to cover design, planning, implementation and maintenance costs (including agent fees).

Activities they fund include:

• New woodlands from as little as 0.25 hectares up to landscape scale projects
• Silvopastoral agroforestry e.g. planting lines, scattered or clumps of trees to provide grazing wood pasture
• Silvoarable agroforestry e.g. integrating trees in arable or horticultural systems
• Creation and management of other forest habitats such as meadows, wetlands, ponds, hedgerows and parkland trees
• Other necessary infrastructure such as access routes, tracks and roads
• Community engagement and public access, including paths, seating and signage
