Forestry establishment is covered by a full, exchequer backed grant. This is to encourage further planting nationally to increase the national cover from below 11% to 18%. Payments to landowners are made via an annual payment for up to 20 years (15 for non farmers) and can be worth €1,103 per hectare.

Your local forester will assist you through the entire process. Remember, you own the land and the trees - we are here to help you make the most from them.
