Summary
A management plan for woodlands under 100 hectares must be completed before you apply for a grant.
We recommend that you:
• read this guide before preparing a plan
• keep a checklist of what you need to do
You can contact one of our local offices (also known as a Conservancy) with any questions.
Who is the guide for?
It’s useful for anyone managing a woodland and considering a Forestry Grant Scheme application.
How will my plan be assessed?
We will assess your management plan against the UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) criteria.
Consider Appendix 1 carefully as it sets out the UKFS requirements for forest planning.
