Woodland Creation Grants in the UK
Scotland Grants
The Scottish Government has a world-leading vision for a zero-carbon society and Scotland’s woodlands and forests are a vital national resource playing an important role in rural development and sustainable land use.
As well as helping to reduce the impacts of climate change and providing timber for industry, the forests enhance and protect the environment and provide opportunities for public enjoyment.
