Coillte is continuing its consultation process on our Forest Management Plans (FMP’s). In doing so, we wish to ensure local participation in the planning process, and once again we are looking for your help. To those of you who made submissions in relation to the pre-planning stage of Forest Management Plans (FMP’s), once again we would like to take this opportunity to thank you. Anyone who sent in a submission in relation to the FMP’s are now added to our stakeholder database. Please note consultation submissions will be available to others and therefore are not confidential, and if you do not wish to remain on our stakeholder list or wish to withdraw a comment/submission then please inform us.
We are now entering phase two of our consultation process, and have a number of our forest management plans in draft format on our Coillte website (www.coillte.ie).
Ø To check if your local forest management plan (FMP) is available in draft format check the forest schedule on (www.coillte.ie). The consultation period for these draft plans is 4 weeks (from 18th May, 2009 – 12th June, 2009).
Ø If your local FMP is not listed just now, it is still being formulated and the draft plan will be available for viewing on the website in late Summer/Autumn 2009.

We will acknowledge your submissions and endeavor to incorporate them into our plans, however because forest management is quite a complex process, in some cases we will not be able to change our plans to reflect all submissions received. In these cases, we will attempt to explain the reasons. In this way we can all continue to benefit from the unique set of natural resources which are vested with Coillte to be managed for multiple end uses. We manage the forest estate according to Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) principals and in doing so we balance the social, economic and environmental aspects of our business.
Thank you in advance for your participation in this planning process and we look forward to working with you again to endeavor that our forests are managed for Coillte and the community.
Yours sincerely
Coillte Consultation Team
