Grants For Tr££s

The first ever Grants for Tr££s booklet was compiled by Roy Lorraine-Smith back in 1989 and published by Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council. That ran to three editions. Subsequently, editions four to eight were compiled by the Royal Forestry Society.

This present edition, available as a PDF (see below), is a slimmed down version. We have reproduced the Contents List, below, to give a flavour of what's in the PDF.

All efforts have been made to ensure that all sources of grants and aid listed in this are current, but if they are not, please contact us on rfshq@rfs.org.uk.

Grants and support available change frequently. For up-to-date information and full details about terms and conditions, please contact the organisations listed using the links embedded in the PDF.
