Speaking from Blenheim Estate, Forestry Commission area director for the South East Jane Hull was featured on ITV Meridian alongside the Estates Director, Roy Cox. [B]Farming Minister Victoria Prentis said:[/B] [B]Forestry Commission Chief Executive, Richard Stanford, said:[/B] By taking up grants such as the England Woodland Creation Offer now, farmers and landowners will be able to transfer into a future environmental scheme at agreed points without having to repay their current funding, meaning there’s no need to delay planting trees now. The England Woodland Creation Offer is also compatible with the Basic Payment Scheme, which means you can continue to claim on eligible land. Farmers and landowners may also be able to transfer land in an existing Environmental Stewardship grant agreement into the England Woodland Creation Offer without penalty, subject to conditions. The Put Down Roots campaign compliments the Government’s wider drive to treble planting rates in England by the end of this Parliament, as part of the commitment to increase planting rates to 30,000 hectares per year across the whole UK by the end of this Parliament.
