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.
