The Woodland Trust
FREEwoods - have a new native woodland completely free To apply, please either fill out our online form – or phone 0845 293 5845.
FREEwoods is a simple Woodland Trust scheme to help you create beautiful new native woodland
We have designed it to be:
Free, with
Minimal paperwork, and
No bureaucracy
Why? One of our key aims is an increase in UK woodland
cover – ideally 1,000 hectares of new native woodland
every year.
FREEwoods allows us to involve more people in the joy
of creating a new native forest of their own.
How does it work? The Trust will pay for one of our
advisers to check land suitability, help with the design of
the wood and the species to be planted, supply and pay for the trees, tree guards and labour to plant and maintain
them for two years. We’ll even complete the paperwork.
All you need to do is provide the land and fence
it off if required.
What do we need from you? Applicants must commit to
plant at least one hectare (2.5 acres) of new native woodland under this scheme. This can be a number of smaller areas as long as they add up to one hectare.
We sincerely hope to fulfil our FREEwoods offer to every
applicant, but if the programme is over-subscribed we will
favour schemes where the planting is either next to ancient woodland or allows public access – preferably both.
Applications must be received by 30th November 2008 and FREEwoods will need to be planted during the winter of 2008/09.
To apply, please either fill out our online form – or phone 0845 293 5845.

This scheme is open to applicants in England and Wales. We are in the process of developing a similar scheme for Scotland taking into account the different grant schemes already available (see scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Rural/SRDP). We hope to provide details of this in due course.
