Grants
There are several grants schemes open to landowners and land managers, contact us for support with applications.
National Trust Commons Small Grants Scheme
The Land Advice Service runs a grant scheme in partnership with the National Trust, funded by the National Trust’s Higher Level Stewardship scheme (HLS).
The scheme provides support for:
- Applicants who are members of the Verderers Grazing Scheme (VGS) for the National Trust Commons, marking at the Commons rate
- Applicants where grant support could enable them to fulfil the terms of the VGS (NT Commons).
Find out more here or view a map of the Northern Commons to see if you are eligible.
