Snow brings grant extension
FC Wales has decided to extend the deadline for applications to its woodland
management fund, following an extended period of adverse weather conditions
which turned many Welsh woodlands into icy no-go zones. A low of –17˚C was
recorded in Powys – officially colder than Greenland. The weather meant woodlands
were inaccessible and so planned work could not be completed.
One claim will be permitted to include all work in any claim year, and this must be submitted
by 28 February of that year. Details are at www.forestry.gov.uk/glastirwoodland, and claims
forms are also on the main part of the FC website under www.forestry.gov.uk/wales or
contact the Technical Services team on 0300 068 0300.
