Rural Payments and Services

This item is for the light upgrade, including the removal of soil and leaf litter, from an existing surfaced path to expose a sound walking surface.

The path is to be scraped using appropriate machinery to remove soil and leaf litter and to reveal the full width of surface. Material removed should be evenly spread to either side of path and levelled. Material should not be placed in or near to a watercourse.

The location and distance of the path to be restored must be detailed on your Woods In and Around Towns Operational Plan map.

Please ensure you abide by conditions set out in the Forestry Grant Scheme claim form and guidance.
