Tree Planting Grant Scheme
The Tree Planting Grant Scheme encourages small scale tree planting in the National Park.
The aim of this grant is to enhance the tree cover within the National Park to support delivery of National Park Partnership Plan priorities and improve and enhance our natural capital for the benefit of people and wildlife.
The scheme is open to businesses, organisations, individuals and community or voluntary groups.
It is being run for us by Forth Climate Forest (FCF) and is available throughout the whole National Park. To apply to the scheme or for further information please email FCF directly: FCF@stir.ac.uk
