Forest cover in Ireland is low at 11% compared to the EU average of 34%. Nearly half of Irish forests are less than 20 years old. Ireland's forests store 312 million tonnes of carbon and absorb the equivalent CO2 emissions from 80% of Irish cars annually. Forests provide important habitats and are becoming more popular for recreation. Historically, forest cover declined due to factors like agriculture expansion and shipbuilding. Today, planting programs are increasing forest area and about half of forests are privately owned. Forests provide economic, environmental and social benefits.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

1. • Forest cover in Ireland is at 11% (778 ,000 ha)
compared to an EU average of 34%.
• Almost half of Irish forests are privately owned.
• Nearly half of our stocked forests are less than
20 years of age.
• Ireland’s forests store 312 million tonnes
of carbon.
• Between 2007 - 2016, Irish forests absorbed 3.8
million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent p.a.
• Each year, our forests absorb the equivalent of
the annual CO2 emissions from 80% of Irish cars.
• Ireland’s forests and woodlands are important
habitats for many native species of flora & fauna.
Native tree species gradually began
arriving in Ireland after the last
Ice age, about 11,000 years ago. When
man first arrived in Ireland, about
9,000 years ago, the country was
covered in mixed forests, mainly oak
on acid soils, elm and hazel on fertile
areas and Scots pine and birch on the
higher/poorer ground.
During the Neolithic period, 5,500
years ago, humans first began to have
a major impact on woodland cover
with clearance to accommodate tillage
and pasture.
The history of native woodlands is one
of progressive decline. The decline of
Irelands's forests began around the
middle of the 6th century.
Key contributing factors included
industrialisation (ship building along
with iron, tanning (hides to leather)
glass and cooperage production) and
'plantations'.These were the parceling
out of large tracts of land to settlers
who cleared large areas of woodland
for agricultural purposes.
Subsequent population increases in
Ireland between 1700 and 1840 again
placed a higher demand on our
agricultural resources.

forestry for wildlife on page 7.

2. 2The Friendly Forest Some interesting facts for you
Under continuous cover forestry, tree canopy cover is maintained at all times.
Trees are selected individually or in small groups for harvesting so there is no clearfelling.
An individual mature tree being
selected for harvesting
Over the years most of our native trees were cut down so
that by 1928 only 1.2% (89,000 hectares) of the land was
under forests.
The current area of forest is estimated to be 770,000, the
highest level in 350 years. Over 391,000 ha or 50.8% of the
total forest area is in public ownership.
Private planting came to the fore in the mid-1980's with the
introduction of a planting grant and annual premium
scheme.
Our national forest resource is made up of 71.2% conifers
with broadleaf species make up the remaining 28.7%. All
new forests are required to include at least 15% broadleaf
species along with up to 15% retained areas for
biodiversity enhancement.
However we still have the lowest forest cover of all EU
countries: approx. 11% compared to a European average
of over 34%.

Forestry for Farmers
Farmers accounted for 83% of private lands afforested
between 1980 and 2018. The average size of private grant
aided forest since 1980 is only 8.7 ha or 21.4 acres. Many
farms can benefit from forestry as part of their farming
mix creating a valuable and growing asset for the future.
Forestry can provide a range of financial, environmental
and social benefits on the farm. It can work very well as
part of the farming mix, complementing drystock,
dairying, tillage and other enterprises to the overall
benefit of the farm. It provides a highly productive land
use option for marginal land, fragmented parcels or out
farms; creating a valuable growing asset for the future.
Farmers have many planting options, including productive
broadleaf and conifers, agroforestry, native woodland and
forestry for fibre categories.
Planting some marginal land can provide a
nice pension pot for retirement or a valuable legacy
for the family.
Forestry can provide a secure farm income. Planting 8 ha
of 15% diverse conifer/broadleaf forest on marginal land
delivers an annual forestry premium of over €4,000 for
15 years. The potential payment can increase to over
€5,300 per annum if planting of Native Woodland meets
the landowners objectives.
Did you know that new native woodland (riparian woodland)
can be combined with an unplanted buffer strip (biodiversity
zone) to protect waterbodies from nutrients, silt or other
threats. This natural solution is called the Woodlands for
Water measure.

Forests for Recreation
The value of Irish forests for recreation is estimated at
€179 million per annum, with an estimated 29 million
visitors each year from home and abroad.
Did you know that Coillte manage our state forest resource
which now extends to over 391,358 hectares of forests,
woodlands, parks and open areas dedicated to nature?
Funding is available under the Department of
Agriculture, Food and the Marine's Neighbourwood
Scheme to support the development of attractive close
to- home woodland amenities (called ‘neighbourwoods’)
for public use and enjoyment.
Forests for
Environmental Benefits
Forests capture and store water, playing a vital role in
providing drinking water for millions of people around
the world. When managed appropriately, forests can
regulate water, reduce the effects of floods and help
prevent soil erosion. Trees located near water courses
can provide an important source of food for aquatic life,
can enhance our landscape and connect habitats which
greatly benefit wildlife.
Many people visit our forests every year to enjoy the
clean air, healthy exercise, birds, native wild life and the
beautiful scenery. There is so much to do: walking,
cycling, orienteering, camping, ziplining, nature
watching, fishing, orienteering, horse-riding, boating
and much more including benefits to our physical and
mental health as well as our wellbeing.
So our forest parks are a great attraction for urban
visitors and tourists alike. Research also shows that time
spent in the forest has significant benefits to our
physical and mental health and wellbeing.
Some Great Forest Parks to Visit
Avondale Forest Park in Co. Wicklow is the Home of Irish
Forestry and of Charles Stewart Parnell one of our most
famous politicians. The state purchased Avondale in
1904 and its magnificent 505 acre estate. Here, the tree
species which are now commonplace in the Irish forest
industry were planted and trialled for the first time in
experimental plots. Laid out along the lines of a
continental forest garden, these plots, laid down from
1904 to 1913 are still visible today along the majestic
sweeping lawn known as the ‘Great Ride’.
Ballyseedy Wood, a haven for recreation
and tranquility near Tralee, Co. Kerry.
As well as protecting our waterways,
trees can greatly enhance our landscape.
Trees and hedgerows are part of our cultural heritage
and have always been highly valued for the shelter they
provide for livestock and crops alike. As a forest grows,
it provides increasing shelter for adjoining fields, farm
buildings and family homes.
Located just outside Cavan town, Killykeen Forest Park
is popular with families, bird watchers, walkers and
anglers. In West Cork one can visit Gougane Barra Park
near Macroom and check out th St Finbar's Church. If
you are in Co. Kerry why not visit Gleninchaquin near
Kenmare. This park includes a spectacular 140 metre
high waterfall, as well as scenic woodlands and is
framed by the McGillicuddy Reeks along the horizon. In
Limerick, Curraghchase is an award winning park with
over 300 hectares incorporating parkland, trails, mixed
woodland and an arboretum.

Wood is Good for the
Irish Economy
Sustainable wood production provides the
timber we need and can divert logging
away from (and helps protect) natural
forests. It provide timber for processing,
construction, bioenergy and many
other uses. It is a driver for
employment, innovation, exports
and wealth creation.
Wood is a renewable and sustainable material.
Harvested wood products (e.g. construction wood,
furniture) store carbon over long periods. Concrete is an
energy intensive material; it’s production emits carbon.
Did you know that every tonne of timber used instead of
concrete results in an emission avoidance of 2 tonnes
of CO2 equivalents?
We have a thriving, export-oriented forest industry.

When trees are felled, sawlog and stakewood timber
assortments are brought to sawmills, where
construction timber, pallets, garden products, fencing
products and wood chips are produced. We have world
class, export-oriented sawmills, eight of which supply
90% of sawmilling products. Smaller mills also are very
important to our local economies. We also have three
modern mills in the Republic of Ireland that
manufacture wood-based panels. The raw material
used consists of small logs (pulpwood), sawmill residue
(sawdust, woodchip and bark) and recycled wood:
• Masonite produces moulded door facings in
Co.Leitrim.
• Medite-Europe produces medium density fibreboard
(MDF) in Co. Tipperary.
• Smartly-Europe produces oriented strand board (OSB)
in Co.Kilkenny.
Did you know that in 2018, 3.69 million cubic metres of
roundwood (including firewood) was harvested in Ireland?
Over one million cubic metres came from private forests. The
UK is a key market for 84% of Irish timber exports and in
2018 our timber exports were valued at €450 million.
Did you know that Norway currently
holds the world record for the world's
tallest wooden building at 85.4
metres high? The Mjosa Tower in
Brumunddal, Norway is an 18-storey
structure constructed from
engineered wood. In constructing
the tower, builders used GLULAM
and laminated timber beams: both
strong enough to replace carbon
intensive concrete and steel and
requiring less energy to produce.
Solid wood creates its own fire-
resistant surface because the
outermost layer chars when
exposed to fire, protecting against
further fire damage Is this a
template for the development of
sustainable cities of tomorrow?
Stakewood produced from sustainable, local forests in
the sawmill of Larry Byrne & Sons Co. Wicklow.
Our forestry sector currently employs 12,000 people and
every year it contributes €2.3 billion to the Irish economy.
It is a driver for employment, innovation, valuable exports
and wealth creation. For every 100 jobs in the forestry
sector an extra 90 fulltime equivalent jobs are provided in
other sectors such as tourism. The industry has the
potential to double in size over the next 10 years.

Forests Helping our Climate
‘Around the world, climate change is an existential
threat - but if we harness the opportunities
inherent in addressing climate change, we can
reap enormous economic benefits.’
Ban Ki-moon on climate change.
Harvested wood products also play a big role in climate
change as carbon is stored in the wood for the longterm.
One cubic metre of wood can store approximately one
tonne of CO2 equivalent.
Wood from our forests is also a valuable source of
renewable energy. Wood energy makes up about 40% of
global renewable energy, as much as solar, hydroelectric
and wind combined. In 2018, 40% of wood fibre used in
the Republic of Ireland was used for energy generation,
mainly in the forest products sector.
Did you know that one tonne of wood chips at 40% moisture
content can displace up to 300 litres of oil at around half
the price of oil. The award-winning Astellas Ireland
Company Limited Kerry Plant, uses a high-spec wood fuel
boiler and locally-sourced conditioned wood chips for its heat
and base steam demand. In doing so it displaces one million
litres of fossil fuel per annum.

Trees play an essential role in tackling climate change.They
take up (or 'sequester') and store carbon dioxide (CO2) as
they grow. They convert it to sugars and wood and release
oxygen. Between 2007 and 2016, Irish forests sequestered
3.8m tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere annually.
7. 7The Friendly Forest Some interesting facts for you
Native Irish Wild Life Thriving in
the Forest
The Irish hare, red deer, red squirrel, pine martens and
red foxes and badgers all populate our forests. The pine
marten is consider one of the rarest wildlife species in
Ireland and its presence has helped the recovery of the
native red squirrel.
Pine cones make up a large part of the diet of the red
squirrel but they also eat many seeds and other nuts
depending on availability. Their diet also includes fungi,
green shoots, fruit and berries. Birds found in your local
forest will include the Chaffinch, Goldcrest, Robin, Coal
Tit, Jays and Wren. Jays are a beautiful bird, a member of
the crow family and will be heard before seen.
Did you know that all new forests include a minimum of 15
percent broadleaves as well as up to 15% of the planted area
dedicated to biodiversity enhancement (open areas, retained
habitat, access routes and hedgerows)? The biodiversity
potential of forests can be optimised with good planning and
sustainable forest management.
Jays are among the beautiful birds found in your local
forest. You will usually hear them before you see one.
So go for an enjoyable and healthy walk in your local
forest and experience some of nature's wonders.
Pine martens are largely concentrated in western
counties and the midlands of Ireland. They thrive in
forests and their predation on the grey squirrel has
helped the recovery of the native Irish red squirrel.
The native Red Squirrel is now
starting to thrive in forests in
Ireland and as the above photo
shows they love pine cones.
