Forestry England Woodland Partnership Programme

The Woodland Partnership Programme has closed

The Woodland Partnership Programme is no longer accepting new applications. In April 2026, we made the decision to focus our woodland creation efforts on our freehold programme, through which we plant and manage new woodlands ourselves. This gives us the best opportunities to create resilient, thriving new woodlands that will bring benefits to wildlife, people, and the climate for generations to come.

If you are a landowner interested in creating woodland on your land, you may be able to access support through other schemes. Find out what options are available to you via the Gov.uk website: Tree planting and woodland creation
