Contact us - Landowners and agents

We welcome enquiries from all landowners and their agents in Newcastle, Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, Sunderland or the more urban areas of County Durham who are interested in planting trees on their land.

You can also get in touch if your land is within 10 miles of the forest's boundary to the north, west or south west.

Please complete the form on this page if you would like to find out more about the support and funding we can provide for woodland creation projects.

Find out more about how we work with landowners to plan and plant new woodland.

If you have any further questions please email us.

*Please note applications for projects to be planted in the 2025/2026 season are now closed. 

However - please do feel free to submit your project regardless, so that a Woodland Officer can be in touch in due course regarding planting in the 2026/2027 season.
