Alternative Land Uses - Woodland Creation

About Woodland creation

Trees have far-reaching benefits for people, the land, the environment and for future generations. By planting the right tree in the right place for the right reason, coupled with financial support and expert advice, woodlands can help realise the full potential of your land.

Woodland creation can sit alongside food production and can help farmers and landowners diversify their business, provide alternative income streams, as well as deliver environmental benefits.

If you plan to create woodland in England, you may be eligible for grants from the Forestry Commission or from a number of partners and other woodland creation organisations.

Join Farmers Weekly live as an expert panel considers the different grant and finance options as well as the planning aspects of woodland creation.
