Abstract: This report addresses five terms of reference given by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine : 1) to assess the social impacts of forestry in County Leitrim including inter alia the attitudes to forestry of people living there. This assessment is based on consultations locally with farmers, non-farmers and other interested parties; 2) to assess the economic impact of forestry for County Leitrim including total employment supported by the sector; 3) to assess the impact of forestry on farm incomes relative to other types of farming; 4) to consider the non-timber outputs of forestry; and 5) to assess the current state of environmental regulation of forestry.
