正文(英文) | Press release Reduce flood risk with the Woodlands for Water schemeThe pioneering project run by the Forestry Commission and Environment Agency is once again being offered in the North East and Yorkshire. ![]() Expert advice on creating woodlands that will reduce flood risk and improve water quality is once again being offered in Yorkshire and North East England as part of a pioneering project run by the Forestry Commission and the Environment Agency. The Woodlands for Water project enables farmers and other land managers to benefit from the services of skilled professionals working on contract to the Forestry Commission. Advice is available in areas of land where woodland planting will most effectively reduce flood risk and/or improve water quality by reducing sediment and pollutants reaching rivers and streams. Landowners can work with a professional advisor who can walk them through the full process from developing a planting plan to submission of the grant application. In addition to this advice, significant grant funding is available for planting new woodlands through the Forestry Commission via the Woodland Carbon Fund or the Woodland Creation grant (which is part of the Countryside Stewardship scheme). The Woodland Creation grant offers up to £6,800 per hectare for planting new woodlands with an additional multi-annual payment of £200 per hectare for a period of 10 years for eligible applicants. Trees and woodland can have a significant impact on flood risk and surface water pollution. Carefully planned tree planting will slow water run-off (and limit downstream flooding), reduce land erosion, help to moderate stream temperature and aid flood risk management. As many landowners already know, well planned new woodland planting can also deliver other significant benefits including:
