UPDATE:
Please note that with the exception of the Silviculture course category, all available funding for all other course categories is now fully allocated and no further applications are being accepted for the following course categories: Arboriculture; Chainsaw; Deer Management; Fencing, Hedge Laying, Coppicing, Charcoal and Firewood Processor; Forestry and Woodland, Instructor and First Aid; Pesticides; Pest Management and Control; and Plant and Large Machinery.
Please note that priority will be given to those individuals who either have not previously been awarded grant funding through the programme, or who have been awarded funding for less than 3 courses since February 2023. Individuals who have previously been awarded funding for 3 or more courses may still apply, but there is no guarantee that any further grant funding will be awarded.
