This study was carried out for the Woodland Carbon Task Force which aims to put conditions in place to enable higher levels of woodland creation. The reprot reviews existing finance available for woodland creation and scopes a range of possible new approaches to funding woodland.

Based on this research relevant existing, and possible new, approaches to funding are scoped out. The ability to increase the flow of funds requires that both funding and suitable opportunities to deploy those funds are available, and the development of models reflects this.
