This week marks the time to start filling out the Scottish Government’s Single Application Forms (SAF).

The forms must be completed by 15 May and can be done either online, or a paper copy can be picked up from local area offices.

The deadline for completing the Agri-Environment Climate Scheme (AECS) forms is also fast approaching, with all forms required by 13 April.

AECS applications which are part of a collaborative project may be eligible to an extended deadline of 31 May.
