Welsh farmers can receive up to £9,000/ha over 15 years in woodland planting grants.
The Glastir Woodland Creation Grant is available across Wales with a minimum area of 0.25ha. Establishment grants of up to £4,500/ha are available along with a fencing grant of £3.15/m and the Woodland Creation Premium of up to £300/ha a year for 15 years.
A third of the 117 schemes planned so far have been approved by Forestry Commission Wales with the number of trees planted varying from 400 to 10,000.
In addition to providing timber and fuel, woodland can create shelter for crops, stock or buildings. It can also prevent run-off and reduce soil erosion whilst enhancing wildlife and improving shooting income potential.
