This final summary report gives an overview of the Woodland Creation Accelerator Fund, which aimed to support the creation of woodlands by providing funding and technical support to local authorities, helping them to establish new forests and woodlands across England. The Fund officially concluded on 31st March 2025. 

The fund was administered by the Forestry Commission in partnership with DEFRA. It provided local authorities with financial support to boost capacity and resource, helping local authorities to employ, train up and bring on board professional expertise to accelerate the delivery of tree planting and woodland creation commitments.

ADEPT promoted the fund and provided technical support including running a discussion forum for the successful local authorities and holding a series of bi-monthly webinars with a range of case studies and topics to increase knowledge.
