Planting

Ireland has an ideal climate for growing forests and has a very generous Grant and Premium Scheme which incentivises landowners to convert land to forests. All costs involved in afforestation are typically covered by grant aid and the owner will also receive an annual forest premium for the first 20 years.

Arbor’s team of professional foresters works closely with the landowner to ensure that their objectives are being met. In addition to this, we will maintain their forest in a manner that maximises the commercial benefit to the owner.

A full breakdown of the new premium rates can be found in the table below. This figures are correct as of January 2023.
