Because of their rarity, these woodland habitats are given \"priority\" status under the EU Habitats Directive, which means that they are rare not only in Ireland but across the entire European Union.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-951-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-951-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-951-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Nine sites were included in this project, with four rare woodland habitat types targeted for restoration works,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>alluvial woodland,<\/li>\n<li>bog woodland,<\/li>\n<li>woodland associated with limestone pavement,<\/li>\n<li>yew woodland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over the course of four years the project addressed the main ecological threats to these valuable forest habitats, namely the introduction and spread of exotic tree and shrub species, drainage, grazing and trespass. The project promoted public awareness of the importance of priority woodland habitats through the creation of three demonstration sites which encourage visitors to enjoy the natural surroundings of these woodlands and learn about the restoration techniques undertaken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-951-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-951-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-951\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Coilltebiodiversity_alluvial_woodland_Durrow.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Coilltebiodiversity_alluvial_woodland_Durrow.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Coilltebiodiversity_alluvial_woodland_Durrow-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Coilltebiodiversity_alluvial_woodland_Durrow-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Coilltebiodiversity alluvial woodland Durrow\" alt=\"Coilltebiodiversity alluvial woodland Durrow\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-951-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-951-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-951-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-951\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Coilltebiodiversity_Scots_pine_forest.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Coilltebiodiversity_Scots_pine_forest.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Coilltebiodiversity_Scots_pine_forest-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Coilltebiodiversity_Scots_pine_forest-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.coillte.ie\/development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Coilltebiodiversity_Scots_pine_forest-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"Coilltebiodiversity Scots pine forest\" alt=\"Coilltebiodiversity Scots pine forest\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-951-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-951-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>The significance of this project was in establishing important conditions which are now allowing the continued natural regeneration of priority woodland habitats into the future.
