Countryside Access Forum Small Grants Scheme

This scheme offers up to 50% funding (max grant £5,000) to Parish Councils and landowners towards work to improve countryside paths.  For non-practical work such as leaflets and booklets it is also open to other organisations. 

Funded by Hampshire County Council's Countryside Service and the New Forest National Park Authority, the scheme is managed by a panel comprising members of Hampshire Countryside Access Forum and New Forest Access Forum and a representative of Hampshire Association of Local Councils. Strong partnership working between these organisations and a high demand from Parish Councils has meant that the scheme has expanded year on year and now offers £40,000 of grants per annum.
