In some regions, additional operational subsidies are available as compensation for various operational challenges, such as long terrain transport distances and variable operational systems. The subsidy rates and eligible activities can vary between municipalities, counties, and regions. Forest owners must have prior approval from the municipality before implementing the activity, and environmental registration must be completed. The program aims to promote sustainable forestry practices while addressing the unique operational challenges faced by forest owners in different geographic areas.
Tilskudd til miljøtiltak i skog
This grant program from the Norwegian Agriculture Directorate provides subsidies for environmental measures in forests. The program supports activities that preserve and develop environmental values related to biological diversity, landscape, outdoor recreation, and cultural heritage in forests. Forest owners can apply for funding for three types of measures: care measures (additional costs or losses when implementing measures to preserve and develop environmental values), long-term preservation (partial coverage of economic losses related to preserving special environmental values where consideration requires the forest owner to refrain from logging or modify forest management), and wilderness-like areas (coverage of additional costs in forestry to avoid road construction that would reduce wilderness-like areas). The environmental measures must be mapped, environmental values must be demonstrable and documented, and additional costs or losses must be sufficiently documented. Awards require a 10-year agreement with the municipality.
Tilskudd til skogkultur
The grant program supports various forest cultivation activities in Norway to stimulate the development of quality forests. Forest owners can apply for subsidies for forestry measures on their property. Municipalities determine annually which specific forest cultivation activities are eligible for subsidies in their area. The most common supported activities include young forest care, ground preparation, and planting (especially in coastal counties). Other eligible activities include fertilization, drainage, and other quality-enhancing forestry measures. Subsidies are not provided for chemical use, equipment purchases, or activities that generate surplus through timber extraction. Each municipality sets its own application deadlines and detailed guidelines for subsidies, and may establish conditions for grants on a case-by-case basis.
Tilskudd til veibygging i skog
This is a Norwegian forestry grant program that provides subsidies for road construction in forest areas. The program supports both new construction of forest roads and reconstruction of existing forest roads. The main objective is to improve access to forest and wilderness resources, facilitating better forest management and utilization. Municipalities determine annually which types of forest road projects are eligible for subsidies in their area, and the most common supported activities include new construction of forest vehicle roads and reconstruction of existing forest vehicle roads. In some parts of the country, subsidies are also available for building heavier tractor roads (road class 7) that serve forestry purposes. The road must be approved according to regulations for planning and approval of agricultural roads, built according to current standards, and maintained to the original standard. The subsidy rates may vary between municipalities, counties, and regions.
