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.

We have now received Woodland Regeneration Grant applications in this Region that exceed the funds for this grant type.  We may receive additional funding this year, which will allow us to cover most applications received to date.  However, until the final settlement under Defra and RDPE budgets is confirmed, for the moment we will not be able to progress any more applications.  Funds for Woodland Regeneration Grant PAWS are currently available.

Please refer to the England Prospectuses and Grant Availability webpage for further information.

Offers of grant are subject to:

• the proposals meeting the rules of the scheme and particular grant applied for
• the proposals meeting wider environmental standards including the UK Forestry Standard and associated guidelines
• appropriate consultation having been completed
• availability of funds

Funds will be closed when they are fully subscribed or at the closing date, whichever is reached first. For more information please speak with your local FC Woodland Officer.
