What Ireland Forestry Act 2014 (No. 31): Felling Licences, Replanting and Tree Preservation requires
The Forestry Act 2014 (No. 31 of 2014) is the principal modern Irish statute governing forestry and the felling of trees, administered by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Its long title states that it is an Act to make further and better provision in relation to forestry. Section 7 empowers the Minister to grant licences in respect of forestry activities, including the felling of trees, subject to conditions. Section 16 sets out the definitions for the felling provisions, and section 17 requires a person to apply for a licence under section 7 in order to fell trees, making it an offence to fell or to cause or permit the felling of a tree otherwise than under and in accordance with a licence or an exemption. Section 19 lists exempted trees and circumstances in which a felling licence is not required, and section 20 empowers the Minister to make tree preservation orders protecting trees. Section 26 empowers the Minister to make replanting orders requiring a person to replant and maintain trees following felling, and section 27 sets out the offences and penalties under the Act. The Act replaced the Forestry Act 1946 as the basis for sustainable forest management, felling control, and afforestation in Ireland.
