Woods into Management Forestry Innovation Funds
Find out about funding to improve our woodland habitat and increase their resilience to pests, diseases and climate change.
From: Contents
Most of our woodlands have been managed in the past to provide timber and fuel. This management has shaped and maintained the habitats that support the plants and animals enjoyed and valued by society today. Presently around 41% of our woodlands are not actively managed and this can have a negative impact on the biodiversity they contain.
The Woods into Management (WiM) Forestry Innovation Funds are being launched as part of the Government’s Nature for Climate Fund. The WiM Forestry Innovation Funds aim to restore vulnerable woodland habitats and help woodlands adapt to a changing climate and recover from the impacts of pests and diseases. Three funding streams are being launched and you can find more details and information on the invitation to apply in the links below.
