Capital Grants 2026 now open

16 Jul 2026 Higher Tier capital grants for agroforestry

Farmers can now apply for agroforestry and woodland condition assessment items through the Higher Tier Capital Grants offer. This means these items will be available to apply year-round, rather than only through the Capital Grants 2026 offer. Agroforestry trees and guards are no longer available in standalone capital grants or for new applications to Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier. You can receive support from the Forestry Commission or Natural England when planning your planting scheme. Read more on this Defra blog post.
