Public consultations on forestry programme and strategy open

The new forestry programme, underpinned by a new forest strategy, "will deliver the changes we need".

"The vast majority of us want more trees, more diverse forests and more wood products."

Consultations on Ireland's draft forestry programme and strategy have opened this week.

Forestry stakeholders and the public are encouraged to take part in these two "significant" consultations, which remain open for six weeks.
