Article summary

The Forestry Commission has launched a £15m woodland creation grant—the England Woodland Creation Offer, which aims to provide financial incentives for landowners and farmers to plant and manage trees. The scheme is open for applications and hopes to provide recognition of the public and environmental benefits that woodlands bring. The scheme supports the development of a variety of woodland types and sizes such as along rivers to improve the water environment. The grant will cover all eligible standard capital costs of woodland creation, in addition to various additional financial contributions such as nature and species recovery, reduced flood risk and improved public access.
