Following your initial enquiry, a member of the woodland creation team will be in touch to organise a free on-site visit to your land to find out more about your plans and discuss  suitability for tree planting.

Tree planting grants are available when planting 200 trees and over. They can cover up to 100% of planting costs and can be tailored depending on your site’s specific requirements, often including funding for new fencing, gates, buying and planting trees, tree protection. Larger schemes provide funds for 15 years of maintenance costs, to ensure that your woodland gets off to the best start.

Due to the special character of Nidderdale National Landscape, not every part of the landscape is suitable for planting. A Woodland Opportunity Plan was created to help identify areas where tree planting could be the most beneficial. The plan also identifies sensitive areas in the national landscape that are not suitable for tree planting and should be avoided.

Using this mapping system, the woodland team can help advise you on if your land is suitable for tree planting and where the trees would provide the most benefits.
