This grant is for the removal from the site of the cut material generated from the Scrub / Woody Vegetation Eradication – Intermediate and Heavy options.

Details of the removal of the cut material must be included in the Scrub Control Plan (as detailed under the eradication options), including identifying a suitable destination which has been agreed with your woodland officer.

Applicants must produce a Scrub Control Plan for the site which will outline benefits to the habitat and demonstrate a long-term strategy. This plan must be attached to your application.

The plan must include:

• a map that details the extent and percentage cover of the scrub you will be removing (to evidence the net area of hectares you will be claiming grant on), and categorises the scrub by grant type (e.g. heavy or intermediate)

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