Ireland unveiled a new forestry program worth €1.3 billion to plant more trees
Posted on November 15, 2022 |
- The fund will help farmers to plant trees to rise between 46% and 66%, and payments will be for 20 years rather than the current 15 years.
- The funding will be directed via the new forestry program that will run from 2023 until 2030, which represents the largest investment by the state in afforestation.
- A target of 8,000 hectares of forestry planting per annum is in the Climate Action Plan, but at present, Ireland is only planting 2,000 hectares.
- The new program is built on the principle of the right trees, in the right places, for the right reasons, and with the right management, aiming to deliver more diverse forests which will complete multiple societal objectives, social and environmental.
