FGS WIG Restructuring Regeneration - Claims
Scotland’s woodlands and forests are a vital national resource and play an important role in rural development and sustainable land use.
As well as helping to reduce the impacts of climate change and providing timber for industry, our forests enhance and protect the environment and provide opportunities for public enjoyment.
The Forestry Grant Scheme (FGS) will support:
- the creation of new woodlands, contributing towards the Scottish Government target of over 18,000 hectares of new woodlands per year
- the sustainable management of existing woodlands
WIG RESTRUCTURING REGENERATION - CLAIMS
=========================================
This option aims to improve the biodiversity, resilience and species diversity of woodlands in the long term.
This will be achieved through restructuring their age and species composition at the point of re-planting following felling. Restructuring Scotland’s woodlands will help deliver against the outcomes in the Scottish Forestry Strategy.
Two grant rates are available:
1) Delivering UK Forestry Standard Woodland
2) Delivering Diversity and Resilience Woodland
and there are two steps to determine whether your proposal will be eligible. Please use the URL link below for further details.
The polygons in this dataset identify the spatial location of tree species grant aided under FGS and the planting year. All areas of grant aided open ground (OG) and non-grant aided other land (OL) are excluded from this dataset.

This dataset is maintained by Scottish Forestry Geo-Information Services. The data capture is based on OS maps supplied by applicants that have been uploaded into Scottish Government's Rural Payments and Services (RP&S) system. The maps are geo-referenced and digitised by Geo-Information Services.
Geo-Information Services interpret the scheme boundaries using RPID field boundaries, Ordnance Survey MasterMap, aerial photography and other relevant datasets where required (e.g. previous grant scheme data).
