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