Purpose
Woodland Management Grant (WMG) aims to encourage low key, sustainable woodland practice. It is designed to protect the delivery of existing public benefits and improve a woodland’s capacity to create more.
The objectives are:
- to contribute to the additional costs of providing public benefits that arise from meeting the UK Forestry Standard for sustainable woodland management;
- to protect, increase and maintain the area of woodland under sustainable management and;
- to identify and address threats to woodland, prevent decline and increase the capacity for sustainable management.
