What grants are available from the Forestry Commission?
Together with the RSPB, the Woodland Bird Project is aiming to reverse this decline by providing financial support to landowners and managers to improve woodland habitat for birds. The RSPB have identified hotspot areas and four of our Regions are offering grant support to applicants within the Woodland Bird Project area. Our woodland officers and RSPB staff can help advise on the best activities. The two main areas of support are: For existing woodlands the Woodland Improvement Grant, offering 80% contribution to work that improves the habitat for woodland birds For creation of new woodlands, a supplement to our Woodland Creation Grantis available in a priority area to specifically benefit one of the vulnerable species.
