Green Belt is delighted to see the DAFM publish forestry statistics for 2019

Annual Forest Sector Statistics The Forest Service has the responsibility for the collection and publication of forest statistics. An annual forest statistics report had been published by the state since its foundation up to 1988, but was discontinued thereafter. This publication reinstates annual reporting on the forest estate and forest industry and brings together previously published and new statistics into a single publication.

In Ireland, we are in a really wonderful position to develop a sustainable, vibrant forestry and woodlands expanse. This can be so complementary to all of the country and our agricultural enterprises. For so long, there has been a disconnect, but this presents a huge opportunity to improve our carbon capture potential.

The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 March the International Day of Forests (IDF) in 2012. The Day celebrates and raises awareness of the importance of all types of forests. On each International Day of Forests, countries are encouraged to undertake local, national and international efforts to organize activities involving forests and trees, such as tree planting campaigns. The theme for each International Day of Forests is chosen by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests. The theme for 2019 is Forests and Education.

As a further commitment to enhancing the areas we operate in, Green Belt is engaging in a project to develop conservation action plans for key special areas of conservation and carry out crucial conservation works in order to bring these sites back into favourable condition.

This work will be carried out over the next 3 years on specific sites and will address issues such as over grazing. Further details will be shared as the project develops.
