[QUOTE="Hesston4860s, post: 6629825, member: 323"] I personally wouldn’t bother getting involved, my late father planted 56ac up in the 90’s under the WGS/FWPS schemes. It was all rosey to start with get payed your grant each year and just watch them grow, after 15 years there yours to do as please and turn it back to farmland they said !. Then they move the goal posts and after 15 years the money stops and you have to keep the blasted trees for another 15 years with no money. All the while they are exempt from SPS unless you join the scheme in 2008 or after then you can claim both SPS and WGS/FWPS and later BPS, which is hardly fair to us earlier percipient’s in the scheme who now after the original 15 years is up get f@#£ all and still have the trees !. All mine do now is cost me a small fortune each year with absolutely no return whatsoever, I keep hoping they’ll all blow over one night or get a terminal disease but it never happens unfortunately.
