Farm families up and down the country have planted over 80,000 hedgerow shrubs and native Irish trees since last December, nearly meeting the two-year target for the first phase of Glanbia Ireland’s nation-wide Operation Biodiversity plan in just five months.
Over 81,000 whitethorn, green beech, blackthorn and oak trees have been planted on farms since mid-December under the Glanbia Ireland subsidised initiative.
