Woodland Creation (part of the Forestry Grant Scheme)

Scottish Rural Development Programme, Scottish Forestry

The award size will depend on the project as the grant has nine woodland creation options with different payment rates that also vary between standard and target sites. There is an initial planting payment and subsequent establishment operation phased payments that can either be applied for as an annual maintenance payment for five years or in two capital item instalments. There are also a range of capital grants available for operations such as fencing and tree protection. See the fund website for additional details.
