View answerMy Department has published a set of Frequently Asked Questions for guidance on the Climate Action Performance Payment Scheme. The scheme document will be published closer to when the scheme opens later in the Summer.
Question four of the published FAQs, outlines who is entitled to the CAPP scheme:
"This payment will be made available to all ash forest owners who own a forest that was established with Ash, with support from the Department and either have or will clear the Ash from their forests and replant with an alternative species through any of the Department's Ash Dieback reconstitution schemes."
