  • FwNT Scheme Conditions - Year 2

    Topics:

    • Agricultural & Environmental Schemes

    There is no minimum area requirement to participate in the FwNT Scheme - Year 2

    You must agree to the terms and conditions, as part of the declaration held at FwNT Year 2 Terms and Conditions 

    The FwNT Scheme - Year 2 cannot be used to fund environmental management activities that are required by law or by any legally binding contract or obligation. 

    Applicants must declare to the Department any land included within an agreement which is subject to existing contractual or statutory obligations. These may include, Forest Service Grant Schemes, Heritage Lottery Funding agreements, Management of Sensitive Sites (MOSS) Scheme and any other publicly funded land management schemes. Land that is already subject to such obligations is not eligible for funding under this scheme where this would result in duplication of funding or support for the same actions. 

    This list is not exhaustive.

    It is your responsibility to ensure that double funding does not occur. 

    Where there is evidence that you have knowingly claimed under the FwNT Scheme for management activities that have received or will receive payment from another source, this may result in the recovery of payments already made.
