We assess projects to see if they are suitable for funding, using option-specific scoring criteria.
We will evaluate applications based on criteria like:
- environmental benefits
- sustainability
- alignment with national forestry priorities
We will use your application to score each option, based on how well they meet the criteria.
- each option in your application must meet the threshold score for approval
We will then use the score as a basis to allocate funding. We will carry out this on a competitive basis through the Forestry Grant Scheme clearing process.
