The Victorian Trees on Farms Program (VToF) provides grants to rural landowners seeking to integrate trees into their land.
The program acknowledges the differing motivations of landowners and is therefore flexible in its approach to species selection and spatial arrangement.
VToF encourages the management of trees for timber production but also allows for integration of environmental plantings to provide shade, shelter and other on-farm benefits.
Round 1 of the Victorian Trees on Farms Program is open until 1 November 2026.
Eligible rural landowners can apply for grants to integrate trees into agricultural land in ways that support their farming enterprise and contribute to timber production, environmental benefits, carbon sequestration and agricultural productivity.
Funding of up to $80,000 is available for farm forestry plantings, and up to $40,000 for integrated environmental plantings.
The program supports two planting approaches:
farm forestry plantings for timber production using species with known timber qualities
integrated environmental plantings using a mix of native species that can provide benefits to the surrounding agricultural system.
If you are considering applying, review the eligibility requirements and submit your application before the closing date.
Apply for funding: Visit the Victorian Trees on Farms webpage and follow the link to the application portal.
