The Forestry Commission has announced that the HS2 Woodland fund is now open for applications. There is no closing date but the £1m funding available will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. The scheme supports the creation of native broadleaf woodland between 1 Ha and 25 Ha, and the restoration of Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS). Funding of 100% is available for a range of capital items and includes a maintenance payment also available for woodland creation. It is available to those within 25-miles of the HS2 route. Further information and a list of items available can be found at https://www.forestry.gov.uk/england-hs2
