**What you get:** National plan with a 110 million euro budget from 2024 to fund hedge planting and management, aiming for a net gain of 50,000 km of hedgerows by 2030

A national plan presented on 29 September 2023 that covers all hedges, agricultural or not, and the people involved from nurseries to owners and managers. It has 25 actions and a stated budget of 110 million euros from 2024 on top of existing public funding. The ministry page describes the plan rather than a single application form; hedge-planting aid is delivered through regional and departmental programmes.

## Who qualifies

The ministry page does not list eligibility. It names farmers, landowners and local authorities as the actors concerned; who can receive planting aid depends on the regional scheme that delivers it.

## How to apply

No application route is given on the national page. Ask your Région, Chambre d'agriculture or DRAAF which hedge-planting aid is open locally; the page links the pact PDF and a July 2024 call for projects on hedge-wood value chains.

**For:** Farmers, Landowners, Municipalities

> Note: The earlier France Relance 'Plantons des haies' aid page on agriculture.gouv.fr returned 404 when checked in November 2026 and the economie.gouv.fr page refused access, so that scheme could not be verified; treat it as ended. The pact page gives no per-kilometre rates, deadlines or application window, so status is unknown.
