Description: Description: The Woodland Grant Scheme (WGS) provides incentives for people to create and manage woodlands on sites all over Great Britain. The Forestry Commission pays grants for establishing and looking after woodlands and forests. To qualify for grant the applicant must meet the standards of environmental protection and practice set out in the Forestry Commission’s guidelines. WGS3 was launched during September 1994 and was closed for new applications in Scotland in February 2003. It was then replaced by the Scottish Forestry Grant Scheme (SFGS). ================================================ Updates to scheme boundaries and grant aided areas were incorporated into the dataset on a regular basis until the end of 2012. No further changes will be made after this time. ================================================ Contents of the dataset: The dataset identifies areas approved by grant type within each WGS scheme boundary. The list below provides a summary of the grant types captured: SCHEME BOUNDARY - The boundary of the area(s) included within the scheme (contract). NEW PLANTING APPROVED - Areas within the contract where new planting has been approved under NP, NB, NS, NC, NK, NX and/or NY. NEW NATURAL REGENERATION APPROVED - Areas within the contract where new natural regeneration has been approved under NN, NL and/or NZ. REPLANTING/RESTOCKING/MANAGEMENT - Areas within the contract where replanting or restocking has been approved under RP, RC or RQ. RESTOCKING BY NATURAL REGENERATION - Areas within the contract where restocking by natural regeneration has been approved under RN or EN. ANNUAL MANAGEMENT GRANT - Areas within the contract approved for Annual Management Grant payment. AMG is intended to assist with the costs of maintaining and improving woodland and for creating or enhancing public access. COMMUNITY FOREST PREMIUM - Areas within the contract approved for Community Forest Premium (CF PREM). This payment provides an additional incentive for the planting of new woodlands in specially targeted areas. WOODLAND IMPROVEMENT GRANT - Areas within the contract approved for Woodland Improvement Grant. This is a single payment made to encourage a range of work in existing woodlands and bring them back into management or where the opportunity arises, to undertake work which will enhance the value of the woodland for conservation, landscape or recreation. WIG is currently divided into three categories - – WIG1 for Public Access WIG2 for Undermanaged Woodlands WIG3 for Biodiversity. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION ANNUAL PREMIUM (1st January 2000 On) Areas within the contract approved for Livestock Exclusion Annual Premium (LEAP) paid to compensate the farmer for the loss of revenue through excluding agricultural stock from woodlands. To qualify, an area must be within either a Less Favoured Area (LFA) or an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA). The grant may only be paid if agricultural stock is preventing the regeneration of woodland. COMMUNITY WOODLAND CONTRIBUTION - Areas within the contract approved for Community Woodland Contribution. CWC is available to encourage the creation of new woodlands near towns and cities which can be used for informal recreation. FELLING (1st April 1998 On) - Areas within the contract approved for clear felling. Following a change in the law on 1st April 1998, WGS was removed from felling licence exemptions and any licensable felling within the contract must now be covered by a felling licence. SELECTIVE FELLING (1st April 1998 On) - Areas within the contract approved for selective felling. Following a change in the law on 1st April 1998, WGS was removed from felling licence exemptions and any licensable felling within the contract must now be covered by a felling licence. Below is a list of the abbreviations used above: NP New planting NB New planting with better land supplement NS New planting accepted into the 1988 set-aside scheme NC New planting of coppice NK New planting of coppice with better land supplement NX New planting of short rotation coppice on non set-aside land NY New planting of short rotation coppice on set-aside land NN New planting by natural regeneration NL New planting by natural regeneration with better land supp NZ New planting by natural regeneration with set-aside RP Restocking by replanting RC Restocking with coppice (planting not regrowth) RQ Restocking with short rotation coppice (planting not regrowth) RN Restocking by natural regeneration EN Restocking by existing natural regeneration Dataset Attributes: Descriptor Description of identified feature PropNumber Property number PlanNumber Plan number PropName Property name Plan_Type Type of plan (Management, Establishment, Both) Prop_Type Property type (Farm, Recreation, etc) Owner_Type Owner type (Business, Personal Occupier, etc) Grid_Ref National grid reference (eg.
