Is the Forestry Commissions work in the forest being funded by the Lottery?
The Forestry Commission is NOT being funded by the Lottery or other Neroche partners for its normal forestry work. The management and harvesting of trees is part of the Commission’s statutory function, and is not eligible for external grant. However the cost of this work has been used as an in-kind contribution to help release the additional Lottery funds. Work which goes beyond the Commission’s statutory function – eg. livestock fencing, cattle purchase, etc – is benefiting from Lottery support.
