Although the current SRDP continues until 2013, it is important that we start to look at what we want within the next Rural Development Plan 2014-2020 for Scotland.
As a first step in the process, a discussion paper: Funding Mechanisms – Looking Forward to 2014-2020 (PDF 42k) has been prepared to consider some of the options on the way forward. You will need a PDF reader such as Adobe Reader to view this document.
During March and April 2010, the Confederation of Forest Industries, ConFor (http://www.confor.org.uk) held three regional meetings to discuss the forestry grant structure for next programme.
Discussion on this topic will continue with a range of stakeholders during 2010 and this web page is designed to keep you up to date.
Comments on the above discussion paper can be sent to:
