Forestry plantations are subject to the requirements of the Forestry Act 1946 and to the Forestry Act 2014, which will come into force from 24th May 2017.
An application for non-grant aided forestry would be appropriate course of action for the proposed land. Should this be successful, the land owner for the existing land must contact my Department's Forest Service to discuss the transfer of the land concerned.
