Two clusters in Offaly and Laois are being prioritised in a new report ahead of a draft of a new national woodland expansion plan.
The Environmental Pillar’s Restore Nature: Native Woodlands project lists 29 sites, with 14 marked as priority sites in terms of scale, ecological value, and potential for expansion on public land.
A cluster south of Tullamore near Charleville Wood is listed for containing protected land, while a site in Durrow is also on the list for its locations near the River Nore, River Barrow and Coillte-owned sites.
Senior Land use Officer with the Environmental Pillar and co-author of the report Fintan Kelly says it's a key time to publish the report:
