You can read about the Scottish Government's tree planting grants on the Woodland Trust website.
Meanwhile in England the government plans to stop tree planting grants in the period 2014 - 2016. If you think this is the wrong decision, please sign the petition to ensure grants for tree planting and creating new woods are put in place and maintained during the gap between old and new forestry funding schemes.

Beauty in colour and form!
ReplyDeleteI've been surprised how slow the leaves have been to fall this year in the light of the storm (which possibly affected us more than you) ...
Hi Caroline, yes I'm amazed how the leaves have stayed so long, we've not had much wind really this autumn though (the storm missed us).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, sunny yellow! I can see the sparkle. :)
ReplyDeleteAutumn sunshine in the form of yellow leaves. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think you have just invented a new shade of yellow here juliet.
ReplyDeleteHi Juliet,
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty maple leaves
Happy week
hugs
Carolyn
Gorgeous Autumn leaves, the yellows are pretty. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful shade of yellow :) good luck with the tree planting grants (there seems to be a lot of regressive policies being implemented throughout the world this year - like the momentum is being lost - not sure what is going on!)
ReplyDeleteYou've had a grand fall there!
ReplyDeletePretty golden leaves ..
Beautiful fall color Juliet.... Michelle
