October 2009 - Please note that all funding for the current financial year has now been allocated and no further grants are being made.
If you would like to restore an old orchard or have a hedgerow in serious need of some management then the Parks & Countryside Service may be able to help you.
The Orchard and Hedgerow Grants are non-statutory and are funded by Herefordshire Council. They can support planting and gapping up of standard orchards and hedgerow management - planting, gapping-up and laying. Max grant per applicant £500.
Subject to budgets the 2010-2011 Scheme leaflet will be available to download from this page late April 2010
