Commission grant aids the planting of new woodland through the Woodland
Creation Grant (WCG) which is part of the English Woodland Grant Scheme.
Poplar planting is eligible for WCG under the Special Broadleaved
Woodland category at the rate of £700/ha.
On eligible farmland Farm Woodland Premium will
be paid for a period of 10 years at the rate of £300/ha for
arable land and £260/ha for other improved land (different
rates apply in less favoured areas).

2008 planting season will be accepted between April 1st and August

these are reflected in each region having its own scoring system
to rank applications, the highest ranked being taken forward to
be considered for grant support.
