Save Ireland's Forests
Target: Mary McAleese, The President of Ireland and the Irish Government
Sponsored by: The Woodland League - www.woodlandleague.org
The Irish Government is moving closer to a huge sell-off of the public forests managed by Coillte (The Irish Forestry Board) to private investors. An area greater than 1 million acres, equivalent to two medium sized counties will be lost forever. This will include some of our most valuable native woodlands, wild places and some of the last refuges of our native flora and fauna. Ireland is the least forested country in Europe with only 8% of the landmass under forest and much of this is non-native species. Our remaining forests are of paramount importance to our limited and dwindling wild species of both plants and animals and they need your support.
