Introduction to Grants and Licences

Click on the country links on the right-hand map for information on:

  • Grant schemes offering a range of grants for woodland creation, woodland management and other related activities.
     
  • The regulations affecting trees, forests and woodlands and how to apply for a felling licence.

 General Principles


  • We expect that all forestry work undertaken through any of our grant schemes meets the requirements of the UK Forestry Standard (974k - pdf) - the government's approach to sustainable forestry.

  • Any forest operation can have a significant impact on the local area and amenity.  Therefore it is essential that you discuss your proposals for your woodland with your neighbours, or anyone who may have an interest in the land, before you start any work. 

  • Our staff will be happy to discuss any proposals with you.  Contact details.
