Historic treescapes grant

Applications for this grant have now closed.

This grant provided up to 100% funding for tree planting projects to restore trees that have been lost since the 1890 Ordnance Survey.

With this grant we want to improve the natural beauty, habitat connectivity, and resilience of our countryside.

Funding was available for projects within the border of Dover district.

After you apply

We'll review applications on a first come, first served basis, until our allocated funding runs out.

We consider your application date to be when you first made contact with us, regardless of how long it takes us to confirm a location's suitability.

We'll aim to contact you within 5 days of your application to discuss your proposal in more detail.

We will consider value for money in our assessment and final decision. We may offer to partially fund projects we consider too expensive.

If your application is successful, you'll need to complete planting and provide us with invoices by February 2025.

The process for submitting invoices will be confirmed as part of your assessment.

We will pay grants in arrears before the end of the 2024 to 2025 financial year.
