The Urban Forestry Challenge Fund provides grants of up to £100,000 for projects that support the 3-30-300 rule:
- 3: Everyone should be able to see at least three trees from home, school or work
- 30: Every neighbourhood should have at least 30% tree canopy cover
- 300: Everyone should live within 300 metres of quality greenspace
Future Woodlands Scotland will fund a range of projects over the next ten years with a strong urban focus that prioritise those areas most in need of well looked after trees and woodlands.
As well as tree planting, they will fund:
- Activities which enable long-term care and maintenance of trees and woodlands
- Urban forestry management research, education and skills development
- Engagement and awareness-raising activities
If your project is not yet ready for delivery, we will consider applications seeking funding for project development including:
- Technical or design consultancy
- Community engagement costs
- Staff time related to the project objectives
Who can apply?
Any not-for-profit registered or constituted body. This includes community groups, state funded educational institutions, charities, community interest companies, development trusts, local authorities or partnerships made up of these organisations.
