New Urban Forestry Fund
In July 2024, Future
Woodlands Scotland announced the launch of the Urban Forestry Programme. This has been
developed to support urban forestry projects, tree planting, biodiversity,
education, community involvement and green job creation to deliver
environmental, social and economic benefits.
The Urban Forestry
Programme is supported by bp, as part of its planned Scottish offshore windfarm
project, Morven, jointly developed with EnBW. As the Urban Forestry Programme’s
lead funder, bp has committed up to £10 million, as part of the ScotWind bid.
As part of the
programme, the Urban Forestry Fund will open on Tuesday 17th September until
Monday 11th November. Funding can be used over a maximum of three years and
there are two levels you can apply for:
- Projects between £2,000 and £20,000
- Projects between £20,000 and £100,000
Applications are
being welcomed from any not-for-profit registered or constituted body. This
includes community groups, state funded educational institutions, charities,
community interest companies, development trusts, local authorities or
partnerships made up of these organisations.
Eligible projects
include:
- New tree planting
- Activities which enable long-term care and maintenance of trees and woodlands
- Urban forestry management
- Research, education and skills development
- Engagement and awareness-raising activities.
If your project is
not yet ready for delivery, consideration will be given to applications for
project development including:
- Technical or design consultancy
- Community engagement costs
- Staff time related to the project objectives.
Learn
more about the Urban Forestry Fund, funding details, and register your
interest.
