Woodland advice and grants for landowners

Whether you are considering planting woodland and are interested in grants, or want to discuss potential funding for a management plan to provide a healthy future for your existing woodland, The Mersey Forest has a 20-year track record of providing solid, no-strings advice. We have an indepth knowledge of a wide range of grant schemes and can help you every step of the way, from site visits to filling in grant applications. Contact us to find out more:

We can also advise on managing your woodland for fuel, either for your own use or to sell. For example in Warrington we helped landowner Rebecca Unsworth to secure a Forestry Commission grant to plant a new woodland to provide renewable wood fuel for her farm house. Rebecca says:

"The support we've received from The Mersey Forest to make it happen has been excellent."
