Scottish Forestry - Forestry Grant Scheme - Forestry Co-operation

Details

This option aims to encourage landscape-scale collaborative projects between two or more landowners by providing support for project facilitation and co-ordination. The subsequent management activity can be supported through other options within the Forestry Grant Scheme.

Grant support of £250 per day is available for up to 40 days to support the cost of a project coordinator for feasibility (the initial exploratory phase) and consolidation (focusing on the detail of the project). The proposal must be over a landscape scale involving two or more adjoining or nearby land holdings.
