@whittledaway @rayofoghlu Great article!

So many hidden socio-economic costs to communities living around plantations, well summarised by @LouiseMichelleF

I'd add:
💸road degradation 💸heating bills higher as sitka blocking solar gain
👎Little to no local job creation

[Save Dough Mountain @SaveMtn]

Excellent opinion piece by @LouiseMichelleF on @rte re #monoculture #forestry and its effect on #communites following her research in #Leitrim

@tom_hubert Sikta plantations are still poisoning our land which is what this direct investment is funding.

@Lile_sosanna @SaveKerry @EU_Commission @EU_ENV Absolutely shocking, no solar gain. I'll can imagine the families living there have a higher risk of respiratory issues, higher heating bills and no chance at growing their own food. Shocking. I doubt then people pocketing the cash st rhe end live anywhere near a sitkanplantation

🚫We will not stand by and let this land grab happen that @coilltenews is facilitating. They need to get their own house in order before going for "growth"💰

People from all over the country today, it was wonderful to be part of @saveforests2023 ✊️#saveourforestssaveourlands

[Richard Boyd Barrett @RBoydBarrett]

Letter from EU that was leaked to me heavily criticised Irelands Forestry model, for lack of public consultation, dominance of Sitka spruce, damage to environment. The Coillte-vulture fund deals will worsen these problems. https://t.co/x786td49j7

@TomTierney18 @Irishwildlife The fund will and sell them on the to international market. The fund is "Irish Strategic Forestry Fund" which they don't know the investors (they claim) as not sold yet. They plan to wind it up and sell off the whole scheme in 15 years so it'll not be returned as a public asset.

@IrishRainforest Just finished your book @IrishRainforest, absolutely incredible thank you. A question popped to my mind, where do you get your pollen analysis done ? Would love to do it for some ancient looking trees up here in wicklow.

[Community Forests Ireland @CommForestsIRE]

Can't agree more. Hundreds of acres of land at my doorstep and I see myself driving to anywhere less grim on my daily walks.
