The Forestry Commission has opened two grants for domestic tree production, offering up to £6.5 million in funding. The Tree Production Capital Grant provides up to £3.5 million over two years for nurseries and suppliers to invest in facilities, equipment and technology such as polytunnels, irrigation systems and seed processing machinery. Applications close on 8 July 2026 at 11:55 pm. The Tree Production Innovation Fund offers up to £3 million over three years for innovative projects that develop new propagation techniques, improved growing systems or technology‑based solutions to support future planting‑stock supply. Its deadline is 29 July 2026 at 11:55 pm. The Seed Sourcing Grant is not reopening at this time, with future rounds to be considered later. Grant managers say the schemes aim to strengthen England’s tree‑production sector and support green jobs.
