Funding for planting trees on your land
No matter what kind of land you own or manage, we can provide information, advice and support with funding across the Northern Forest area.
Up to 100% funding for woodland creation and tree planting
We can provide generous grants, tailored advice and support for your woodland creation and other tree planting projects. The funding is very flexible and can support a wide variety of projects, including those using tree planting and natural processes. Whatever your idea, we can provide a dedicated adviser to support you through the planning, funding, planting and maintenance process. We can also:
- fund specialist surveys to inform your planned woodland
- help with the design to make sure you get the most out of your project
- provide advice on tree species selection, supply and planting options
- help with all the paperwork, including regulation if required, to make the process as simple as possible for you.
Our advisers have expertise in designing woodland and wooded habitats to deliver a wide variety of benefits, from improving and protecting nature to natural flood management, public access and engagement, and fighting climate change.
We can fund up to 100% of the costs of designing, establishing and maintaining your project for up to 15 years.
