We’re working with the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (AMC) to help farmers with their plans to transition to a low carbon future. We are offering partial funding for planting 0.5 hectares (ha) of new woodland or more as part of our MOREwoods and MOREhedges schemes.
Our MOREwoods and MOREhedges schemes can bring a multitude of benefits to your farm, such as:
• Helping to manage flooding
• Providing wood fuel
• Offering habitats for game and wildlife
You can choose to create a shelterbelt, fill a corner of a field or even plant a small wood.
Planting season is November to March, but it’s never too early to start planning! Apply now to plant trees in the 2020/2021 planting season and our woodland creation experts will work with you to create a plan that meets the needs of your farm.

Where 500+ trees are planted as woodland on at least half a hectare, we’ll help you design your woodland, create a bespoke species mix, supply the agreed trees and tree protection, and cover up to 75% of costs. If you live in England, Wales or Northern Ireland and would like a contractor to plant the trees for you, we can arrange this and cover up to 60% of all costs for woodland creation of over 1ha.

We can subsidise up to 75% of the cost if you plant more than 100 metres of new hedging allowing a large tree to grow every six metres. This includes advice and guidance on planting.
