Defra have announced that £150 million of funding is now available to farmers, land managers and rural businesses for practical environmental improvements across England, including planting hedgerows, managing boundaries, improving water and air quality, restoring habitats, and introducing natural flood management measures.
Capital Grants can be used to deliver standalone improvements or to complement existing Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), Countryside Stewardship (CS) or Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) agreements.
Once funding has been allocated, the Capital Grants offer will close with a new round of funding expected to open during 2026.
