The Forestry Commission will, from the 24th August 2009, offer a Woodland Improvement Grant with an 80% contribution (PDF 43Kb) to costs for biodiversity work in all ancient woodlands in the South West Region. This reflects the biodiversity and cultural heritage value that ancient woodlands offer, as set out in “Keepers of Time: A statement of policy for England’s’ ancient and native woodlands”.
Please see our Regional Grant Availability page for more information on the grants that are currently available.
Application Forms, Guidance notes and the WIG Calculator can all be downloaded from the Woodland Improvement Grant main page.
