Work will commence in early June and continue for 3-4 months. Much of this work will be done by hand given the size of the trees so it will take some time.<\/p>\n<p>For safety reasons the forest will remain closed, and the Dublin Mountains Way (DMW) detour will remain in place until tree removal is complete.<\/p>\n<p>The cleared area will be replanted in the coming winter. Planting will mimic the species that are naturally regenerating on the site and will include a mix of native saplings such as birch, Scots pine, oak, rowan and holly.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your continued patience while these works are completed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>05.06.2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvesting along the Wicklow Way in Mucklagh<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From June 9th to the end of August harvesting will be taking place close to and along the Wicklow Way in Mucklagh.<\/p>\n<p>Please be aware of heavy machinery operating in the area and adhere to all safety signage and instructions, a detour will be in place for the duration of the works.<\/p>\n<p>Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

The felling operations will not impact the forest\u2019s recreational area and will not prevent local visitors from continuing to use the forests for daily exercise. The targeted felling operation will instead focus on a separate section of forest located to the east. Forestry and the supply of timber has been deemed an essential service by the government during this time.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the busy nature of the park, it has been decided to commence forest operations during the current lockdown period while there are less visitors due to travel restrictions. Therefore, tree felling will be safely carried out during the first week of March by a combination of timber harvester and chainsaw operators, followed by timber extraction using a forwarder machine.<\/p>\n<p>This tree felling operation is specifically for conifer trees only. This means that only the conifer trees which were planted to produce wood are to be removed (with the exception of individual broadleaf trees that are deemed dangerous to the public safety).<\/p>\n<p>Following harvesting operations, replanting of trees will take place\u2013 the planned tree species for this area are oak (20%), Norway Spruce (40%) and Douglas fir (40%). Both Norway spruce and Douglas fir are light crowned conifers and produce cones important for many species such as the red squirrel. Oak is a native Irish tree species and will comprise a larger section (one-fifth) of the total forested area in this part of the forest following replanting that it did before.<\/p>\n<p>The logs harvested at Jenkinstown Woods will be used in Irish sawmills to produce construction grade wood, pallets, fencing stakes and plywood as well as for biomass.<\/p>\n<p>Following completion of forest operations, Coillte will visit the forest and plan any remedial works to walking trails that may be required. While forest operations are taking place we ask the public to follow all safety signage and never approach a working machine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>16.02. 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Harvesting Operations At A Section Of Duhallow Way, Co.

He said that the planned works were primarily due to safety concerns after storm damage to parts of the forest.<\/p>\n<p>Bernard Burke went on to say<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>We want to discuss any proposed plans with local residents and interested parties before any works begin. We apologise that this was not possible due to COVID19 and we have already been in contact with community representatives, local councillors and TDs. We are now looking to broaden this out to local residents and other forest users.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cCoillte has requested that we be allowed make a presentation to the Strategic Policy Committee of the Cork City Council on the proposals and we want to engage directly with the local residents also. As such, we are investigating the best way to do that, whether that be a virtual town hall or some form of direct engagement.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOld Court Forest, known locally as Garryduff Woods, is at the heart of the community and we in Coillte are proud that this is the case. With such affection for the forest, it is understandable that some people have questions about planned works.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThese works have been deemed necessary, primarily because of safety reasons due to storm damage. At all times, the forest was managed in such a way to support biodiversity and minimise the impact on recreation users. Coillte applied this low impact approach to the entire forest of 26 hectares.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn line with the biodiversity objective of the entire forest, Coillte has been managing a six hectare area, which was planted to produce timber, in a way that, while trees in this area are gradually removed to produce wood, there is always a tree canopy in place. In line with this policy, Coillte has removed trees from this part of the forest in a low impact manner in 2006, 2009 and 2012.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHowever, following strong storms, nearly half of this part of the forest has been badly damaged by wind. Wind-blown and wind-snapped trees are scattered throughout. This has resulted in a large number of leaning trees which are danger to the public. As such, Coillte made the decision to clear up this area and then move back to a low impact approach. This meant that the trees need to be removed in one operation and the area will then be immediately replanted.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIn order to carry out this operation, Coillte was considering extending the existing forest road to access this part of the forest. Once the forest operations would have been completed, the road would serve as an additional walking route in the fore.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAt the moment, we encourage any resident who has a concern to contact us on info@coillte.ie<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ENDS<\/strong><br \/>\nFor further information or to arrange an interview with a Coillte representative please contact:<\/p>\n<p>Marie Lynch, 087 973 0522 or <a href=\"mailto:marie@carrcommunications.ie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">marie@carrcommunications.ie<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information, follow Coillte on Twitter or Instagram @coilltenews<\/p>\n<p><strong>22.07.2021<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ballyhoura Mountain Bike Trail Diversions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beginning Monday 26\/7\/21 a section of the Ballyhoura MTB trail will be closed between Poles 23a and Pole 24 as trail maintenance work is being carried out.&nbsp; &nbsp;The trail will be closed for approximately three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Please obey all diversions and safety signage that will be in place.<\/p>\n<p>We apologise for any inconvenience caused.<\/p>\n<p><strong>08.06.2020<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Trail Detours on the Brown Loop in the Ballyhouras, Co.
