Mae’r cyhoeddiad yn dilyn adolygiad byr a manwl gan y Dirprwy Weinidog dros Newid Hinsawdd i weld sut orau i drechu’r rhwystrau sy’n cadw pobl rhag creu coetir.


Mae angen i Gymru blannu 43,000 hectar o goetir newydd erbyn diwedd y degawd fel rhan o ymdrech Llywodraeth Cymru i wneud y wlad yn sero net erbyn 2050.


Dyma’r ddau gynllun newydd:


* Y Cynllun Grantiau Bach – Creu Coetir. Dyma gynllun i symleiddio’r drefn ar gyfer talu ffermwyr a pherchenogion tir sydd am blannu darnau bach o dan ddau hectar o faint o goed yng Nghymru ar dir sydd wedi’i wella’n amaethyddol neu o werth amgylcheddol isel.
* Mae’r Grant Creu Coetir yn cynnig arian i ffermwyr a pherchenogion tir sydd â phlan creu coetir sydd wedi’i gymeradwyo gan Lywodraeth Cymru, i blannu coed a ffensio.
* Mae’r ddau gynllun yn cynnig grantiau ar gyfer plannu coed, codi ffensys a gatiau a gwaith cynnal a chadw am 12 mlynedd.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd, Julie James:



> Bydd plannu mwy o goed yn hanfodol i helpu Cymru i osgoi rhai o effeithiau gwaetha’r newid yn yr hinsawdd.  Gall creu coetir ddod â chyfoeth o fanteision i gymunedau lleol, o swyddi gwyrdd i leoedd ar gyfer natur.
> 
> 
> Rydym am i ffermwyr Cymru fod yn ganolog i’n cynlluniau.  Does neb yn nabod eu tir yn well felly er mwyn sicrhau bod eu busnesau’n gynaliadwy, nhw fydd yn penderfynu ble i blannu’r coed. Cyn belled â’u bod yn bodloni Safon Goedwigaeth y DU, byddwn wrth law i roi’r help sydd ei angen arnyn nhw.
> 
> 
> Rydym yn gwybod eu bod nhw, fel cymaint o bobl eraill, yn awyddus i leihau eu hôl troed carbon a’n helpu fel Tîm Cymru, i fynd i’r afael benben â’r newid yn yr hinsawdd.


Mae Derek Morgan yn ffermwr yn Llangurig, Llanidloes, sydd wedi plannu rhyw 58,000 o goed ar sail ei awydd i arallgyfeirio ei fferm o fod yn fferm ddefaid.


Dywedodd Mr Morgan:



> Edrychais ar fy strategaeth ar gyfer y fferm rai blynyddoedd yn ôl a phenderfynu plannu 17\.5 hectar o goetir sy’n gweddu’n dda i’r tirlun lleol.
> 
> 
> Rwy’n falch iawn o’r hyn dwi wedi’i wneud gan fy mod nawr yn cynhyrchu pren cynaliadwy ar gyfer marchnadoedd lleol, sy’n golygu y bydd yma wastad fusnes ar y fferm.  Mae’n wych gweld y bywyd gwyllt a’r cynefinoedd newydd sydd wedi dod i’r tir yn ei sgil.


Mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru’n gorfod gymeradwyo pob plan sy’n derbyn Grant Creu Coetir Llywodraeth Cymru er mwyn sicrhau ei fod yn bodloni Safon Goedwigaeth y DU, sy’n safon gadarn i sicrhau coedwigaeth gynaliadwy.


Dywedodd Ceri Davies, cyfarwyddwr gweithredol tystiolaeth, polisi a chaniatáu yn Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru:



> Mae cynyddu’r gorchudd coed ledled Cymru fel rhan o’r Cynllun Creu Coetir yn rhan hanfodol o’r ymdrech i ddelio â’r argyfyngau hinsawdd a natur, ac i helpu i wireddu uchelgais y wlad i fod yn sero net.
> 
> 
> Mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru yn chwarae rhan allweddol yn yr uchelgais hon, gan weithio gyda rhanddeiliaid, perchenogion tir, ffermwyr a’r sector coedwigaeth i ddeall beth yw’r rhwystrau rhag plannu coed a sut i’w trechu.  Rydyn ni’n helpu i sicrhau hefyd bod yr holl gynlluniau’n bodloni Safon Goedwigaeth y DU, a bod unrhyw waith plannu newydd yn diogelu bywyd gwyllt a’r amgylchedd, yn cyfoethogi’r tirlun lleol ac yn gofalu am ein hadnoddau naturiol.
> 
> 
> Rydym yn disgwyl ymlaen at barhau i weithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru a’n partneriaid i hybu’r uchelgais i blannu coed yng Nghymru a sicrhau’r manteision niferus y gall hynny ddod i ni.

The announcement follows a short, intensive review carried out by the Deputy Minister for Climate Change which looked at removing barriers to woodland creation.


Wales needs to plant 43,000 hectares of new woodland by the end of this decade as part of the Welsh Government’s journey to making the country net zero by 2050.


The two new schemes are:


* The Small Grants Woodland Creation scheme, which simplifies funding for farmers and other land managers to plant small areas of trees on land in Wales under two hectares which is agriculturally improved or of low environmental value.
* The Woodland Creation Grant, which offers funding for tree planting and fencing to farmers and land managers who have a woodland creation plan, approved by the Welsh Government.
* Both schemes will provide grants towards tree planting, fencing and gates and 12 years of maintenance support.


Minister for Climate Change Julie James said:



> Planting more trees will play a fundamental role in helping Wales to avoid some of the worst effects of climate change. Woodland creation can also provide a wealth of benefits to local communities from green jobs to places for nature.
> 
> 
> We want farmers in Wales to be central to our plans. They know their land better than anybody else so, to ensure the sustainability of their business, we will leave decisions around where trees should be planted entirely with them. As long as they meet the UK Forestry Standard, we are on hand to offer the support they may need.
> 
> 
> We know they, like many others, are keen to reduce their carbon footprint and help us on our Team Wales mission to tackle climate change head on.


Derek Morgan is a farmer in Llangurig, Llanidloes, who has planted around 58,000 trees after wanting to diversify his holding from being primarily a sheep farm.


Mr Morgan said:



> I had a rethink on my strategy for the farm just a few years ago, deciding to plant on 17\.5 hectares to create woodland that sits comfortably into the local landscape.
> 
> 
> I am very proud of what we’ve achieved because it will allow me to produce sustainable timber to supply local markets and means there will always be a business here. It is also lovely to see the wildlife and new habitats it has brought to the land.


All woodland creation supported by the Welsh Government’s Woodland Creation Grant must be verified by Natural Resources Wales to ensure it meets the UK Forestry Standard, which is a robust standard for sustainable forestry.


Ceri Davies, executive director of evidence, policy and permitting at Natural Resources Wales, said:



> Increasing the tree canopy across Wales as part of the Woodland Creation Scheme is a crucial part of the effort to tackle the climate and nature emergencies and to help achieve the nation’s net zero ambitions.
> 
> 
> Natural Resources Wales is playing a key role in this ambition, working with local stakeholders, landowners, farmers and the forestry sector to understand the barriers to tree planting and how they can be overcome. We are also helping to ensure all schemes meet the UK Forestry Standard, ensuring that any new planting safeguards wildlife and the environment, enhances the local landscape and carefully manages our natural resources.
> 
> 
> We look forward to continuing this work with the Welsh Government and our partners to further the extensive tree planting ambitions in Wales and to deliver the many benefits it can provide for us all.
