Help accelerate woodland planting rates and develop the domestic market for woodland carbon in the form of verified carbon credits, called Woodland Carbon Units (WCUs), to the government for a guaranteed price every 5 or 10 years up to 2055/56.
This isn't a grant or loan scheme for planting but enables accepted landowners and farmers to sell WCUs to the government every 5 or 10 years up to 2055/56. The government will buy the WCUs for an agreed guaranteed price index-linked for the life of the contract. You can still choose to sell the carbon credits on the open market at any time.
