FwNT Scheme Conditions
The information on this page relates to Year 1 of the Farming with Nature Transition Scheme.
For information relating to Year 2 please visit: Farming with Nature Transition Scheme - Year 2
There was no minimum area requirement to participate in FwNT (Year 1), however your application must be over a minimum value of £2500.
There was also a maximum application value of £9500.
You must have agreed to the terms and conditions, as part of the declaration contained in the link below.
FwNT cannot be used to pay for environmental management activities that are already being funded on the same land area by another funding source, including DAERA.
You must check if you have land which is under contract or obligation to other schemes e.g., Small Woodland Grant Scheme or other Forestry Grants, Management of Sensitive Sites scheme (MOSS), Heritage Lottery Funding or other similar schemes.
It is your responsibility to ensure that double funding does not occur. Where there is evidence that you have knowingly claimed under FwNT for management activities that have received or will receive payment from another source, this may result in the recovery of payments already made.
FwNT cannot be used to fund environmental management activities that are required by law or by any legally binding contract or obligation.
