Grants are available to organisations working in the tourism and hospitality sector for new and innovative projects that will boost sustainable tourism in the National Forest.
The Sustainable Tourism Grants scheme has been launched by The National Forest Company with the aim of supporting organisations with new projects that can help to develop the National Forest as a landmark sustainable tourism destination.
Grants of between £1,000 and £5,000 are available to support projects that:

- Protect and enhance nature to improve the visitor experience.
- Raise visitor awareness of the National Forest story and future vision.
