  1. No SS available here or UK, very serious for foresters trying to finish sites this season. Heard Alba had one enquiry from Ireland for 600K
  2. Reconstitution scheme closed. No communication from FS before they closed it. Big shock ahead for us all if we get severe late frosts now.
  3. Planting finished, weather conditions have been perfect with a mix of sunshine and showers - " A wet & windy May fills the barn with hay "
  4. Has to suspend planting this week - crazy weather, too hot, east winds, frosty nights and dry soil conditions - bring on a deluge please !
  5. Minister Mc Entee made it clear at FLG meeting last week that plantation owners will have to contribute to the cost of roading their forests
  6. Broadleaf Thinning to be re-opened in January following suspension in Dec 2011 ?? No need to suspend it first day - only costs €750K p/a
  7. I C the Forest Service have given us our Xmas surprise 4 2011 - Road Grants down from €45 to €35/m and road density now 18 m/ha.from 25m/ha
