first up - you do have permision from the landowner dont you ? - i know it sounds obvious but in my last job we had a big problem with well intentioned individuals planting trees into our woods without permision
secondly , one of the most important aspects of tree planting schemes is to ensure that the trees are of local provenance - the best way to ensure this is to collect seed from your target woodland , propogate it then return the saplings to site the following year - hazel and viburnum can also be propegated from pegged stems in situ - if this cant be done make sure you specify local provenance when ordering.
thirdly - funding wise , if the landowner is agreeable you could go to the forestry commision for a woodland improvement grant - their grants are being rejigged so the name may have changed but there will still be money to be had , alternatively landfill tax (sita , WREN or BIffa) or awards for all (lottery) might be possibilities.
