New plan to improve forest management and profits
All private forest owners in the region are invited to a meeting in the Parkway Hotel, Dunmanway, next Monday night at 8pm, where plans to optimise returns and create forestry jobs will be discussed.
“There are over 500 private forests in west Cork. The average plantation size is approximately eight hectares. The private planting industry has been thriving for almost 20 years, and now the industry is entering a new phase,” said West Cork Forest Producers group chairman, Tim McCarthy, who invited other forest owners to join.
