2. Ireland’s Draft Forest Strategy
This consultation consists of two parts. In part 1 the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine invites submissions on the draft Forest Strategy Implementation Plan and associated Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Environmental Report and Appropriate Assessment (AA) Natura Impact Report and in part 2 it invites submissions on the draft Forest Strategy.
The Implementation Plan comprises a list of actions and measures, which will enable the Strategy to become a reality, placing Ireland on the road to achieving the Shared National Vision for 2050. The Plan also includes the Forestry Programme (2023 – 2027), which will be the main implementation mechanism for the Forest Strategy in the immediate to short term.
