The Timber in Construction Steering Group has identified five themes, designed to transform timber usage in sustainable building. Donal Magner reports.
As members of the public make 29 million visits to Irish forests annually, is there a case for quantifying this public good aspect forestry, asks Donal Magner.
The new forestry programme is very ambitious, both in terms of targets, and in balancing economic objectives with wider environmental and social objectives, writes Barry Delaney.
There are 12 afforestation forest types in the Forestry Programme 2023-27 along with two native tree area schemes. Apart from two – FT 3 and 4 – all are relevant to farmers. Donal Magner reports.
Forestry licences issued for February are holding up for roads, but are down for felling while a late surge for afforestation, if maintained, offers some hope, writes Donal Magner.
Current annual production from the private sector stands at 3.1m m3 but a new report forecasts a reduction of €0.4bn to the economy and a loss of 3,800 jobs.
None-so-Hardy up for the challenge to meet demand for native species, but resilience and adaptability required as afforestation continues to fall, Donal Magner writes.
