Objectives 

Submeasure 8.1 aims at increasing and creating three types of forests: 

• mixed forests with an unlimited cycle; 
• medium/long cycle wood arboretums; 
• short cycle plantations. 

Selection principles

The assessment of Submeasure 8.1 shall comprise a subdivision into macro-criteria, a minimum permissible score of 12 points and a maximum permissible score of up to 100 points, as defined for:

• territorial scopes, specifically for the location of the intervention, the maximum score achievable is 84 points;
• types of operations activated, specifically by type of intervention, the maximum score is 16 points.

In this case, the beneficiaries do not foresee any relevance in the attribution of the score: projects with smaller investments will be financed on an equal footing.

Eligible expenditure 

The financing covers the costs incurred for: 

• establishment and propagation material costs; 
• the purchase of plant, arboreal and shrub material, accompanied by the certification of origin of the plants; 
• costs for operations related to the installation. 

In addition, a premium will be paid annually for each hectare to cover the costs of: 

• maintenance for a period of 12 years (replacement interventions and compensation for failures); 
• coverage of agricultural income foregone, with the exclusion of non-agricultural land (prevention and plant protection measures).
