Welcome
This site is about changing the face of Irish forestry. I want to tell others who don't know, that there is another way to manage forestry plantations for timber production without cutting down the very forest that the timber grows in.

I'll be writing about forestry events; Pro Silva Ireland forest visits; the Local Project in the South Leitrim area; and my own experiences in managing forests in the Cavan/Leitrim area. I hope you enjoy the Local Forest Log and I hope you find something interesting enough to pass on. Do tell others about my ideas but note my writing is licensed not to be copied or re-used!
