Round 5 of the fund opened for applications in May 2026, with specific challenges published to guide applicants on priority areas the fund seeks to address. Applicants are required to complete an application form, a finance spreadsheet, a project timeline, and evidence of financial viability where applicable. These documents are submitted together to the Forestry Commission by the stated deadline. Guidance documents, grant agreement templates, and process diagrams are provided to support applicants through the process.
