Short course
Support for agriculture in Europe occurs in the context of pillar 1 and pillar 2 of the Common Agriculture Policy. In the UK, pillar 1 support will be provided through the basic payment scheme from 2015 to 2019. Since October 2015, Pillar 2 support in England occurs through a new Countryside Stewardship Scheme. This includes provision for support for woodland planting, woodland management, and hedgerow planting. However the eligibility for woodland planting requires a minimum stand density of 400 trees per hectare. There are options for the maintenance of parklands, but not for their creation.
