Gov't Program Funding for WL Projects
Do you want government funding for your woodlot licence Schedule B lands in 2023/24? Non-obligatory activities on Schedule B lands are eligible as per the Silviculture Funding Criteria, in two broad categories:
· Current reforestation - aims to reforest areas not being addressed by harvesting/licensee obligation; key opportunities: fire-killed stands, beetle-killed stands, any other damage that isn’t economical to harvest and incur silviculture; can cover surveys, prescriptions, site prep/knock down, sowing, planting
· Timber supply mitigation – fertilization, spacing
Process
