The amount of land planted for forestry in Ireland in 2021 was just a quarter of targets contained in the Government’s Climate Action Strategy, the CSO has confirmed.

But this was amended to just 8,000 hectares after significant licensing difficulties for planting and felling were encountered by the Department of Agriculture. The CSO Afforestation Area 2021 report found while the percentage of broadleaf species - considered better for biodiversity than the more predominant Sitka spruce – amounted to 41 percent of the area afforested in 2021, the bad news was that farmers’ share of overall planting had declined every year since 2010.
