NeighbourWood scheme provides funding to develop woodland amenities

Working off the effects of the food and drink excesses of the Christmas festivities will be a daunting challenge for thousands of people countrywide next week.

But the task will be made a little easier in areas where a NeighbourWood scheme has been developed as a year-round amenity.

The Department of Agriculture, Food, and the Marine administrates the scheme, which was launched last year.
