Friday 23rd<\/sup> May 2025:<\/strong> Coillte today welcomes the decision by Galway County Council to grant planning permission for its proposed peatland redesign project at Derryclare, Co. Galway. Our immediate next step is to review the planning permission in detail, including the conditions set out by the Council, and incorporate them into our plan.<\/p>\n

This innovative, large-scale project will see 340 hectares of Peatland Forests redesigned for climate and ecological benefits over a 10-year period. Key objectives of the project include peatland rehabilitation, promoting regrowth of bog and heath and creating new native woodlands, which will collectively reduce carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s announcement marks a significant and positive step forward in the delivery of Coillte\u2019s strategic ambition to redesign 30,000 hectares of Peatland Forests by 2050. The works at Derryclare will include tree removal, drain blocking and the control of invasive species, and it is expected to inform future Coillte peatland redesign projects across Ireland.<\/p>\n

Coillte would like to thank the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for its continued support and collaboration on this project and looks forward to working closely with its stakeholders and the local community as it progresses to the delivery of these important restoration works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
