From the Woodland Trust website:
The Woodland Trust provides free help and advice to all those interested in planting new native woodlands in Scotland.
MOREwoods
A simple scheme from the Woodland Trust to help you create beautiful new native woodland.
With our expert help and advice in just 12 years you could be walking through your own flourishing young forest of native trees; oak, ash, hazel or rowan.
Specialist woodland creation advisors are in place and can offer site visits and advice based on four decades of planting expertise.
Previous MOREwoods schemes have created some 210 hectares of new native woodland across 160 sites, with planting motivated by a range of uses from shade for livestock to a legacy for future generations, to shelter for crops and game cover.
Native woods are a haven for wildlife and beneficial for our health and well being. They can also provide excellent game cover, produce timber and woodfuel, help with pollution control, reduce soil erosion and can make an important contribution to addressing the challenges of climate change.
MOREwoods is available to landowners throughout the UK with a minimum of one hectare (2.5 acres) but that could comprise a number of smaller areas.
Your application will be favoured if you can
contribute towards the scheme or do some of the work
yourself or if you are happy for your scheme to go forward for Forestry Commission funding.
