ENGLISH WOODLAND GRANT SCHEME
The aims of the English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) are to:
- sustain and increase the public benefits given by existing woodlands and
- help create new woodlands to deliver additional public benefit.
As a result of EU legislation from April 2008 all EWGS applicants must be registered with a Single Business Identifier and their land registered on the Rural Land Register before applying. Registration is a one off process that does not need to be repeated.
The range of grants available:
- Woodland Planning
- Woodland Assessment
- Woodland Regeneration
- Woodland Management
- Woodland Improvement; and
- Woodland Creation.
Grants are allocated regionally with each region having its own budget for grants.
