What is the Woodland Environmental Fund
The objective of the Woodland Environmental Fund (WEF) is to facilitate the planting of more native woodlands within Ireland by providing an access point for businesses to part fund the establishment of these forests.
Who is eligible to apply
Businesses are invited to partner with Government and private landowners in creating these diverse woodland habitats.
Rate of payment
WEF funding is a once off single payment of €1,000/hectare, paid by the business to the landowner. The payment is made once the forest is established and has been approved by the Department.
How to apply
Businesses must lodge a WEF-1 form to the NCF of their choice (see NCF register) declaring their interest in the fund
