Can I get a Grant

[pinetree paddocks]

Hi I am about to remove a large number of pine trees 30/40cm in diameter, and about 50/60 feet tall can I get a grant for this .

No, but you might be able to get a restocking grant depending on the circumstances. Have a chat with your local FC woodland officer.

 

You will need a felling licence and they'll be able to advise on that too.

Hi, I do have a felling licence I thought there were grants with R P A for extraction costs

[john k]

There are, or were (not sure of the latest situation), grants under the Woodfuel Woodland Improvement Grant towards the costs of putting in roads to make access better. That may be what you're thinking of.

 

I'm pretty confident that there are no grants to help with the direct costs of harvesting your crop though!

You have till June 30th to find out and apply that's the deadline.
