Grant Directories

The National Forest is 200 square miles of mixed habitat forest. It spans across parts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire and aims to link the two ancient Forests of Charnwood and Needwood. The Freewoods grant programme offers three woodland themes, each specifically designed to help landowners tackle some of the most pressing economic and environmental concerns: Environmental/Commercial - Options to create a firewood wood, designed to supply fuel wood; Conservation/Landscape -  Options to create a wildlife wood with the best possible conditions to attract birds and other wildlife; Amenity - Options to create a colour wood for year round seasonal colour, a sporting wood for game or recreation provision, or a roadside wood for privacy, noise dampening and landscaping.
