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.
How to apply
