Regional Grant Availability

The Forestry Commission is waiting for Defra and RDPE budget confirmation for financial year 2009/2010 and beyond, so the national and regional EWGS budget allocations have not been finalised. Despite this, we opened for EWGS applications in May 2008 to retain industry confidence and business continuity. This webpage will be updated when budget settlements have been confirmed.

Please refer to the England prospectuses and grant availability page for further information.
