There are also a number of webinars and events happening around the country to mark National Tree Week.

The Taoiseach launched the Government's next phase of the project yesterday.

Councillor Feeley also hit out at "the criminal fashion" in which some forestry in Cavan has been replanted.

Friends of the Irish Environment said it would negatively impact the biodiversity of the area.
