Forest Education Initiative
A new North Highland Forest cluster group has recently been formed to help local people and groups access Forest Education Initiative support. Forest Education Initiative (FEI) aims to increase the understanding and appreciation, particularly among young people, of the environmental, social, and economic potential of trees, woodlands and forests and of the link between the tree and everyday...The FEI Partnership Fund provides funding to support the work of FEI cluster groups. It can provide match funding for specific activities, which enhance the overall objectives of FEI. These are to help develop among young people a greater understanding of trees, woodlands, forest management, forest products and wood as a sustainable resource. Grants of up to £5,000 (50% match funding needed) are available throughout the year. For information, contact Neil McInnes - Neil is the chair of the local group.
