This fund supports farmers and landowners in planting trees outside of woodland areas to create green corridors that link isolated habitats and woodlands. The goal is to establish miles of new green networks across Hampshire, enhancing biodiversity and ecological resilience in both urban and rural landscapes. These corridors act as stepping-stones for wildlife, helping species move more freely through the environment and strengthening the connectivity between fragmented habitats.

Applications will be assessed based on how well proposed planting sites meet the following criteria:

• Proximity to roadways – creating visible green routes that benefit both nature and people
• Along riversides – enhancing riparian habitats and supporting waterway ecosystems
• Connecting remote habitats and woodlands – improving landscape connectivity for wildlife
