Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Senator Pippa Hackett today announced the publication of her department’s annual Forest Statistics Report 2020. This Report is prepared annually by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
Launching the report, the Minister commented:
"'Forest Statistics - Ireland 2020’ is the annual compilation of statistics on the forest estate and the forest sector in Ireland. It is the definitive compendium of up-to-date information on forestry in Ireland and is the go-to reference document for anybody interested in the subject. The Programme for Government makes clear our commitment to forestry, and woodland habitat creation in Ireland. As I engage with all stakeholders on these commitments, it’s important to have reliable statistics to chart the progress of this new forestry programme."
