KCC Historic Treescape Grant Dover

Monday 18 November 2024

KCC's Trees Outside Woodland Project Officer has contacted the Parish Council about their scheme aimed at landowners across the Dover District area (excluding the AONB and urban/sub-urban areas).

The grant provides up to 100% funding for tree planting projects to restore trees that have been lost since the 1890 Ordnance Survey, covering the trees, materials, protection, and labour of non-woodland planting projects.

The grant could cover the restoration of historic:
• hedgerows
• hedgerow maiden trees
• in-field trees
• orchards
• parkland trees
• small, wooded areas (copses or spinneys) less than 0.2 hectares in size.
