We are really keen to get your woodland creation enquiries in as soon as possible so we can start our step by step process to set you up with a woodland!

Tree planting season takes place in late autumn and winter whilst the trees are dormant, to give them a head start for their growth in the spring. There is often lots to be done before we can start any planting work, including designing a scheme which both suits your objectives and is in accordance with regulations. If you are a landowner or farmer interested in the idea of planting trees we would be more than happy to chat things through with you and offer a free land assessment visit.

With the woodland creation offers available, you can cover up to 100% of actual costs for your woodland as well as a generous maintenance offer of £400 per hectare for 15 years. There are numerous benefits to incorporating trees on your land, from shelter and shade in the summer months to flooding reduction, and soil improvement. There are also wider benefits to nature and carbon sequestration.

To get started all we need from you is:

  1. A suitable area of land of about 1 hectare (or 2.5 acres) which can be planted with trees and shrubs (if you are unsure whether your land is suitable please speak with us)
  2. Any relevant information about your land, including any existing agricultural schemes, utilities e.g.gas pipes etc. (we can help retrieve this information if you are unsure)

If you are interested to see how the South Yorkshire Woodland Partnership can help you please fill in our short form, (which will take around 2-5mins).
