| Description |
We are delighted to announce that we plan to run a study tour to Ireland from Thursday 28th September to Saturday 30th September 2023, in conjunction with Pro Silva Ireland. SILVICULTURE IN IRELAND Forestry in Ireland has a similar history to that in Great Britain, with widespread deforestation up until the 20th century followed by an extensive reforestation programme based largely on the use of non-native species such as Sitka spruce. More recently, there have been increasing policy commitments to greater use of native species and to the wider use of Continuous Cover Forestry. For example, in 2019, a new grant scheme dedicated to supporting CCF was introduced by the Irish government. This forms part of wider measures designed to supporting the sustainability and resilience of Irish forests. Pro Silva Ireland was founded in 2000 and now has over 100 members drawn from all parts of the Irish forest sector. Our visit will be based in County Wicklow to the south west of Dublin and within easy access of Dublin airport and other means of public transport. Open to non CCFG Members also! |
