The Habitat Wales Scheme will be offered in 2025. All eligible farming businesses will be able to apply.
It is important that if you intend to apply for the scheme that all habitat on your land is confirmed by completing the SFS Data Confirmation 2024 form on RPW Online by the deadline of 6 December 2024.
This is the only opportunity to confirm the habitat areas on your farm in advance of the scheme opening.
Welsh Government say that confirming habitat is not a commitment to manage that land in 2025 and a decision can be made by individual businesses if they want to manage and claim the habitat in line with the published habitat category requirements.
