The Trust provides a site visit, woodland design, species mix, the trees, tree protection and advisor support; the landowner pays the balance, roughly 40-80p per tree plus VAT when self-planting. Contractor planting is available for sites of 1 ha or more in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.","eligibility":"Landowners or farmers in the UK planting at least 0.5 ha of new woodland at 1,000-1,600 trees per hectare (so 500+ trees), in blocks of at least 0.1 ha or shelterbelts at least 4 m wide. Not for restocking existing woodland or land felled in the last 5 years, and not if the planting is already funded elsewhere. Someone else can apply with the landowner's permission.","how_to_apply":"Apply online via the MOREwoods application page; applications are reviewed by a fortnightly panel and the Trust aims to respond within 8 weeks. An advisor then assesses the site and issues a cost estimate; you sign an agreement and pay within six weeks. Trees are delivered between November and March.","url":"https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/plant-trees/large-scale-planting/morewoods/","source_url":"https://woodlandtrust.org.uk/plant-trees/large-scale-planting/morewoods-application/","season":"Applications open for planting November 2026 to March 2027; no closing date published","program_status":"active","lat":null,"lng":null,"data_note":"Application page says applications are being taken for planting between November 2026 and March 2027 but gives no closing date; applications in previous years closed once the season's allocation was taken.","updated_at":"2026-11-08T00:02:20.743Z","page_url":"https://treerm.org/residents/programs/woodland-trust-morewoods","markdown_url":"https://treerm.org/residents/programs/woodland-trust-morewoods.md","license":"CC-BY-4.0"}
