Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Forest Strategy Implementation Plan: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Mr. Barry Delany:
We have 216 applicants for 232 ha. Some parties would do native tree area scheme 1, which is a block of 1 ha in the corner of a field or wherever they wish to plant, and there is native tree area scheme 2, which is riparian planting. Some farmers can plant up to 2 ha of native tree area scheme, in effect getting €44,000 over the ten-year period.
