Coillte launched a new Charter of Commitment to the Peoples\u2019 Millennium Forests on May 1st 2018.\u00a0 The launch event took place at Ballygannon Millennium Forest, Rathdrum, County Wicklow, as part of a Native Woodland Conference organised by the Woodlands of Ireland.<\/p>\n

The People\u2019s Millennium Forests is an all-Ireland initiative and is the largest-ever project aimed at restoring and managing Ireland\u2019s native forests.\u00a0 Twelve of the sixteen Peoples\u2019 Millennium Forests around the country are owned and managed by Coillte.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the launch, Gerard Murphy, Managing Director of Coillte Forest, said, \u201cThis Charter of Commitment underpins Coillte\u2019s ongoing recognition of the Peoples\u2019 Millennium Forests. We will continue, in partnership, with the Woodlands of Ireland to ensure that these Forests are protected and enhanced for the benefit of the public over many generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ballygannon Wood forms part of The Vale of Clara, one of the most important native oak forests in Ireland.\u00a0 In 2000, Coillte restored Ballygannon as a native forest; a 1960s plantation forest was removed and more than 40,000 young native trees of oak, birch, holly, rowan and Scots pine were planted.\u00a0 The young trees were grown by Coillte from seeds collected in County Wicklow.<\/p>\n

Almost 20 years on, these young planted trees have developed to form a new, vibrant, native forest community, rich in both plant and animal life.\u00a0 The young forest will continue to grow for hundreds more years, developing into an ecologically mature forest.<\/p>\n
