The initiative aims to roughly double the forest expansion rate in the EU achieved over the period 2005-2020 with three billion additional trees planted by 2030.
The Department of Agriculture has announced the extension to 31 March 2025 due to "current market restraints and the limited supplies of suitable hedgerow and tree plants".
