Rural Payments Agency - Woodland Tree Health Grants
Product Description:
Woodland Tree Health (WTH) grants are open for applications all year from 2 January 2025.
WTH grants are available to a wide range of farmers and land managers.
* WTH Restoration grant, which provides support for restocking woodland after felling due to a tree health issue
* WTH Improvement grant, which provides support for the removal of trees and rhododendron infected with either Phytophthora ramorum, Phytophthora pluvialis or Phytophthora kernoviae
You can apply for these grants individually or together. A Forestry Commission woodland adviser will assess your site to make sure that the grant is appropriate.
Once you receive a grant, you will have 3 years to finish the work that is needed. We cannot pay you for any work that takes place after the 3-year period.
