Q&A: Up to €1,700/ha to replant storm-damaged forests

Q&A: Windblow scheme

A windblow reconstitution scheme has been announced for landowners whose forest plantations were damaged by storm winds between December 5, 2013, and February 12, 2014, including Storm Darwin on February 12.

“The State will make a financial contribution towards the cost of replanting these sites as a once-off measure for this specific weather event,” said Agriculture Minister Michael Creed.
