Why is early management so important?
Early management is essential to get the best returns from your forest in the future.
New forests require several years of active management to become well established. The payment of the second instalment of the Afforestation Scheme (Maintenance Grant) and forestry premium is subject to the forest successfully achieving certain standards. If a forest is not well maintained, future timber revenue is likely to be compromised.
Forest owners need to take an active role in the management of their forests to maximise future timber revenue.
