Farmers, foresters or land manager wishing to apply for woodland management actions through Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier (CSHT) need to complete the woodland improvement pre-application form.
You must have received an invitation to apply from the Rural Payments Agency to apply.
The Forestry Commission will review and return your form with advice you must use with your CSHT application when the scheme opens in summer 2025.
