Review of forestry sector by Bacon

Ireland: Consultants Peter Bacon and Associates are to carry out a socio-economic review of the forestry sector and its contribution to the environment and economy.

It has been commissioned by the Irish Forest Industry Chain (IFIC) in association with the IFA and self-assessment companies.

IFIC, the umbrella organisation representing the sector, believes the study is both timely and necessary following cutbacks in funding.
