This grant supports landowners and managers in England with spruce trees in the proactive spruce removal area to assess their woodland. It funds evaluation of spruce amount and condition, planning for felling and restocking, and helps reduce risks from the Ips typographus bark beetle. The fixed payment of £2,000 aids in covering assessment costs, with applications accepted until March 2029 on a first-come first-served basis.
Applicants must own spruce trees within the proactive spruce removal area in England. Eligible applicants include individuals, public sector, non-profits, private sector, and local authorities.
