The fund aims to support woodland creation on agricultural land and non-agricultural land. It will increase scope for the integration of a woodland component into an existing farm and other businesses and tree planting areas of 0.20 hectares and larger will be eligible. The creation of new native woodland which will contribute to biodiversity, carbon sequestration, improving air, soil and water quality and improved public amenity value.
SoilCapital supports farmers to transition one million hectares to more profitable and regenerative agriculture by 2025.
The fund supports the creation and restoration of wildlife-rich habitats in England. It is open to individuals and organisations working to recover nature. Projects must deliver against the fund theme of habitat creation and restoration, including ecosystem restoration, to support species abundance at a landscape, catchment or local scale, either within or outside of protected sites.
The fund aims to support a range of activities in existing woodlands that will: increase species and structural diversity through low impact silvicultural systems management, encourage natural regeneration to expand native woodlands, bring native woodlands and designated woodland features into active management and good ecological condition, support management of rural and urban woodlands for public access, control grey squirrels where they are a threat to the red squirrel population, control predators to benefit capercaillie and black grouse, and reduce deer impacts to a level that will allow regeneration of conifer and broadleaved species.

Wilder Carbon aims to scale up native habitat restoration in the UK. Wilder Carbon projects are all Carbon+ which means that they deliver multiple benefits: locking up carbon and increasing wildlife as well as benefiting people and communities e.g. flood prevention.
The Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) is the quality assurance standard for woodland creation projects in the UK, and generates high integrity, independently verified carbon units.
The Woodland Carbon Guarantee (WCaG) is a £50 million scheme that aims to help accelerate woodland planting rates and develop the domestic market for woodland carbon for the permanent removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
