The project includes sustainable measures to restore damaged forests, adapting them to climate change, and is focused on areas that are under the greatest pressure.
Offering support to maintain and possibly increase populations of specific rare breeds under the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 of Ireland.

A small family forestry business used RDP support to acquire new machinery that would enable it to respond to the increasing demand for forest services.
