The Strategic Timber Transport Fund has been extended to the end of March 2011. Ł5m will be available each year until this time.

The Fund

The fund aims to facilitate the sustainable transport of timber in rural areas for the benefit of local communities and the environment.

Projects should minimise the impact of timber transportation on Scotland's fragile rural and public roads, for example, through the development of in-forest roads in appropriate situations, or through work that helps link forests to sea and rail loading facilities. Applicants seeking support for relevant projects can apply through the Strategic Timber Transport Scheme.
