Under the current afforestation scheme an applicant for a planting grant must either own the land or have the owner's written permission to afforest the land and to apply for a grant on his/her own behalf.
In the event of a dispute arising regarding ownership or rights on the land an applicant will be required to furnish proof of ownership and no grant will be paid until the Department is satisfied on the matter.
