Where to find grants for trees and woodland

Woodland grants, funding and incentives available in England from the Forestry Commission and our partners.

Tree planting and woodland creation grants

These grants support woodland creation across England. They provide financial assistance to farmers, landowners and land managers to plan, plant and establish new woodland

Woodland management grants

Grants to help woodland owners protect, manage and maintain trees. This ranges from general woodland upkeep to specific tree health interventions.

Tree production and seed sourcing grants

To support sector capacity, there are grants to increase and diversify domestic production of high-quality trees and seeds. This helps to ensure a sustainable seed supply and source.

Grants and incentives for trees outside of woodland

Outside of woodland, there are grants to support tree planting and establishment within urban, peri-urban or rural settings.

Carbon incentives

These initiatives outline how woodland owners can generate income from carbon captured by new woodland creation projects.

Innovation funds

The Woods into Management Forestry Innovation Funds support the development and testing of new ideas to improve the ecological condition of woodlands and their resilience.

These funds are currently closed.

Grants from our partners

There is additional funding opportunities offered by our partner organisations. These complement our woodland grant schemes, and some target specific regions and types of projects.
