Funding is intended to help to bring woodlands into management; promote the economic and sustainable production of timber and timber products; add value and jobs to local economies; and provide support to facilitate and enable diversification.

It supports investments in three main areas:

1. new specialised equipment which will increase the local small-scale harvesting and processing capacity
2. new specialised equipment for forest tree nurseries, including tree seed supply businesses and equipment for afforestation ground preparation projects, including forestry fencing projects
3. support for the mobile equipment to help forestry businesses or enterprises to adapt and recover from Covid-19
