Concern that recommendations could ‘further restrict management of forests’
Project Woodland was launched in early 2019 by the department in an effort to “reform the regulation and vision” for forestry.
There is concern that some of the recommendations made in a new report, if implemented, could “further limit and restrict the planting and management of forests”, according to the Irish Farmers’ Association.
In recent days, Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine Pippa Hackett welcomed the publication of the Project Woodland Regulatory Review Report.
