Environmental Stewardship and Energy Crops


Environmental Stewardship is an agri-environment scheme that provides funding to farmers, land owners and land managers (including tenants) to deliver effective environmental management and is broken down into the following schemes. A Farm Environment Plan (FEP) is required as a prerequisite of an application.

It is expected that experienced consultants (such as ourselves) will be requested to do most of the FEP plans as specialist knowledge is required. Natural England will pay consultants fees for a Farm Environment Plan. The amount of payment relates to the size of the holding.

Contact us for a competitive quote, and a friendly bespoke service which will be of the highest quality and in the strictest of confidence.

English Woodland Grant Scheme

The English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) is part of the DEFRA family of environmental support. The Forestry Commission operates the scheme under the England Rural Development Programme (ERDP). The purpose of the scheme is to develop the coordinated delivery of public benefits from England’s woodlands. The grant scheme has a regional basis and regional funding.
The objectives of EWGS are:

  • to sustain and increase the public benefits derived from existing woodlands in England
  • to invest in the creation of new woodlands in England of a size, type and location that most effectively deliver public benefit.

These grants are specifically targeted with new planting and conversion from coniferous to deciduous woodland prioritised particularly where this also leads to greater public access. Acceptance is discretionary and applications being scored on a points basis are also competitive.
